Suggestions regarding boyfriend left woman but still paying expenses


15-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I am a 34 yr old Christian divorced woman with a 14 yr old child. I was in a relationship with a hindu man who was undergoing divorce. We were supposed to get married as soon as he would get the divorce. We shifted together in a rented house. I shifted to Bangalore for this reason. I was made to leave my Job for this reason. He bore all our expenses, school fees, house rent and all other household expenses.We posed as a married couple in our apartment.He shifted to another city stating its a job transfer in after 3yrs. But continued to pay for the expenses. Same year I too left my job with mutual understanding. Initially he used to visit us every weekend then it reduced.But in a years time he suddenly broke of the relationship and this yr he got his divorce done and married another woman. He is still paying for our expenses I'm worried what will happen if he has to discontinue. I am neither much educated nor wealthy. I am completely dependant on him. What can i do in this case.

As you said you have working experience try to search some in which you are skilled or any job which you are comfortable with to take care of you and your son independently without living under insecure feeling. You can't blame that person even if he leaves for the women whom he has married now because he seems to be a womanizer and not loyal to one women. Your relationship status with him is not valid or legal hence you can't claim against him under law as he is already a married man. Try to keep good relation with him until you will be benefited from him or if you feel uncomfortable you can wind up the relation with him take care of your son and yourself by giving good education and future to your son.

This is such a delicate issue that trying to handle it legally may land you in more trouble. Some may advice you to file for maintenance, and some may tell you file a criminal case for cheating against him. But once you start a legal process he may stop paying you what he is paying now, and there is no guarantee that any lawyer- Court will get to more. So, my advice is to you is ' keep quiet till he keeps paying'.
