You have to file counter (reply) to the allegation stated against you by you husband in the divorce petition. You have to refuse each and every allegation mentioned in the divorce petition. It will be easy to get the divorce on the ground of crulty. It would be difficult to prove the cruelty before the court. To decide to case, the court would taken your counter affidavit and evidence provided by you in the court. Once the case posted for filing counter in the caption of last chance then you have to file the same on very same day. Otherwise the court may decide the case on your obsence by allowing the petition. If you need any further clarification feel free to contact me.

Don't be yourself tensioned. First you should clearly and particularly , specifically deny the allegations mentioned in the petition . Its very simple. Each and every para should be specifically denied by you. Apart from that you should state the actual s that happened in your matrimonial life. Thats all

You have to file a detailed counter to each and every allegation that he has mentioned in his petition for divorce. You say you were never cruel so you tell that in the counter. If Court has said last chance then you will not get another chance. You have to give all the details as to his Petition as a Counter. Let the Counter be in detail. You tell all the truth because you say you never did any cruel things to your husband and his family. Unless I read the Petition I will not be able to give you further detailed advice. We have to discuss the allegations made in his Petition and only then I can help you to draft a proper Counter. You may have to meet me for that.

Hello,

It is your legal duty to file counter against the petition. Your husband filed a petition against you and he has mentioned that you committed cruelty but here you have to deny the averments.
