Mutual divorce
3 years ago
We have completed 11 years in marriage and have a daughter of 7 years old. Throughout these 11 years I realised I am just a person earning for my family however the basic respect was not given to me by my partner. She never cared what I needed and her only priority was my salary and whether she is getting her money every month but in return she didn't give me the basic care, love or respect that I needed as a human being. There has always been so much fights at home in front of our daughter and I can see it is badly effecting her as my daughter turning aggressive and learning temper tantrums.
After 11 years when I realised that I am not able to survive this meaningless marriage anymore, I have asked for mutual divorce and my wife also agreed however her demands are so unreasonable and that's why I need help from you all.
1. My wife's financial status in terms of property is more than me still she is asking for one time alimony of such an amount which is way beyond my reach. She is highly educated but not working at the moment. That's why I am planning to pay her a lum sum quite a good amount , also I will be supporting my child education and also giving my complete share of my ancestral property for my daughter marriage when she will be of that age...Still my wife is asking a huge one time alimony which is way beyond my capacity. She is asking this amount with an excuse for daughters education and marriage. However for education and marriage I am already securing her and giving one time alimony separately within my capability. Still she is asking for such a high alimony amount.
2. My wife also demanded from me to make a "Will" so that even after alimony settlement and divorce , whatever assests , property, savings I will have in future in my name, it should go directly to my daughter. The reason she wants to do this "Will" so that I don't move on in my life even after our divorce and don't marry anyone in future say after 5 years or whenver I want in my life again.
Hence, I want you to help me with your expertise how to deal with this situation and specially how to deal with my greedy wife's demands of such high alimony which is not in my capability and the demand of "Will" so that I dont live peacefully even after our divorce.

Since you are ready to pay decent amount in case of mutual divorce, also, and your wife is demanding more amount which is unreasonable, you may approach the court for the divorce.
You may approach the court as your wife's demands are unreasonable, since you are ready to pay the alimony and the daughter's share, in case of mutual divorce.
You need not execute any Will otherwise you will be danger. You may ask her mutual divorce then her true color come out.
