What to do if case filed against you in DV Act


15-Oct-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My wife is living seperately from me since March 2016. She was pregnant at that time and had gone to maika for delivery. My son was born premature in Apr 2016. She alleges that me and my parents didnt take care of her that is why she had premature delivery. My parents dont live with me and she had not visited sarural after marriage. She has not come home after Mar 16. I am planning to file for divorce and she is threatening to file DV case. My question is what happens if she files a DV case and what steps should I take if that happens

If you want to reunite with her, then you can file a case for Restitution of Conjugal Rights which means, asking the Court to intervene so that your wife reunites with you. If you do not want to reunite with your wife, then you can file for divorce. I advise you to file the case before your wife files for Domestic Violence. In the event she files the case before you do, then you need to find a lawyer to represent you as non-representation would create a negative impact for your defence.

Hi..... you can file a divorce case on the ground that she is living seperately from you since long time. And if she files divorce case you have to attend before the court and you have to take proper legal steps. Thank u
