21-Oct-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I have filed DV case in March 2020,first year passed in Covid19,then proceeding started,but opponents filed various applications to prolonged the case,(for e.g. opponents filed Affidavit of Income and expenditure after 8 months from the date of court order ,that too in incomplete form. Then respondent kept on filing various applications. Exhibit5 is not taken on board for processing. Now it has been four years,my case is still pending in the court.What can I do ?

In such situation of unne delay at the hands of respondent, you can file an application for interim maintenance wherein you can ask your husband to pay you a particular amount as monthly maintenance till the final disposal of the case. Let the case be delayed then, but he has to give you the interim maintenance if granted by court.
