A. Dear Client,

There is no specific time limit for filing an application under Order 9 Rule 7 of the CPC to set aside an ex parte order. Such an application can be submitted at any point during the ongoing proceedings. However, a recent ruling by the Himachal Pradesh High Court clarified that the application must be filed before the conclusion of arguments to be considered.

icon Divorce - After tero certificate is there any procedure left to do

After tero certificate is there any procedure left to do? Tero certificate mean it cancellation from civil register? After cancellation how many days have to wait for remarried in goa?


A. Dear Client,

Typically, in divorce cases, except for mutual consent divorces, individuals usually have to wait for approximately 90 days to ensure that there are no appeals filed against the last order, judgment, or decree. The issuance of the TEOR certificate usually occurs only after this time period has elapsed. If this condition is met, then considering remarriage becomes an option. Otherwise, it is advisable to wait for the full 90-day period.

A. Dear Client,

Under Section 13(1)(ib) of the Hindu Marriage Act, a spouse deserted for two continuous years can file a divorce petition. If a wife successfully files for divorce on desertion grounds, the husband typically bears the financial responsibility. Alimony, whether monthly or as a lump sum, lacks a fixed rule but can be one-fifth or one-third of the spouse's net worth. The Supreme Court suggests 25% of the husband's monthly earnings for monthly alimony. For child custody, if under 5, i ...ReadMore

A. Dear client,

Kindly mention your question. And clarify what exactly is your query?

I need more details regarding you divorce such as whether it is completed or not ? If not then what stage it is in ?

As a wife, she has equal rights over all the assets and properties you own and she can claim the same. You need to prove that either you don’t own them or you have so much liabilities that you can not give her all those. Rest is courts discretion.
Thanks and Regards

A. Dear client,
You can file a divorce on the ground of adultery. Though adultery is no more a punishable crime. You need to add more grounds to your divorce like mental harassment, torture. You can also file a 498A against your husband. You should also claim maintenance from him. It is very difficult to determine the timing of the decision of a contested divorce as it varies from case to case. It it might take 2 to 3 years or maybe finished prior to that. Hence, it is advised to consult an advoc ...ReadMore

A. Dear client,
Was your marriage registered? If yes then under which act it was registered? Kindly mention.
You can only get annulment if you got married within last 1 year. If one year is passed then you are not eligible for filing annulment. Then you have to file contested divorce against your husband. You have all the ground to file for divorce.
