One side divorce, 10 yrs marriage no contact with each other

561 votes

You've been separated for nearly a decade, lived together only briefly, with no children, and no ongoing relationship. You’ve already taken the right step by filing for divorce. Since your wife is also ready for divorce but demanding more money, this becomes a matter of settlement negotiation, not reconciliation. Key Points: Short marriage with no shared assets or kids. Long period of separation weakens her claim for a large settlement. Courts typically don’t favor large alimony where both parties are educated and earning well—especially if she earns more. Offer a reasonable one-time settlement (lump sum) to avoid dragging the case and save on legal fees. If she refuses, be ready to contest the alimony based on her financial independence. Let me handle the court strategy. I’ll ensure your interests are protected and you won’t overpay. Let’s close this chapter cleanly and quickly. Next Step: Let's meet, review your documents and financials, and prepare a strong reply to counter her demand. Regards,

in this situation we can serve a notice to the wife with a intention live together in our matrimonial life. if she deny to stay together then we can file a divorce petition before the learner c o u r t and that later we have sent to the wife we can use as a evidence in favour of us . Or if s h e fail to reply or notice or if she reply on our legal notice than we can go through with the intention of the opposite party. however we can Fila contested divorce petition before the learned Court for divorce.

If one spouse is unwilling to mutually consent for divorce without a large settlement, the husband can still proceed under contested divorce (Section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act), citing cruelty, desertion, or irretrievable breakdown. If the wife is more qualified and earning well, alimony may not be granted or could be nominal. The court considers financial capacity of both parties. Evidence like lack of cohabitation and long separation will support the case. Legal advice and representation will be important to navigate the proceedings effectively. for further discussion kindly contact me.
