Dear Client,

Looking into your case, my legal opinion is as under:

That her Domestic Violence case is unsustainable before the law, you should go for the dropping of DV proceeding against you and others if any....you have bright chance to dismiss her case.

Helo sir .
If your Ex wife leaving seperately then Domestic voilence not maintanable. She was leaving seperately because of her job and transfer but not for the reason of harrasment by you and your family. In between she was not taking any legal steps against you for reconsiliation of your marriage . She was educated and working women then she can not ask for maintenenace also.

Yes, she can file domestic violence case, there is no limitations for domestic violence case. You have a right to defend showing the truth before the court. If she is earning then can’t get maintenance.
