A.maintenance, divorce, and one time payment are different things.
you have to pay maintenance dues.
but she waited 5 years then how she managed.
means she is earning so you have to pay maintenance for daughter.
accepting one time payment for divorce is her choice.

A.Your wife is within her right to claim arrears of maintenance of five years. You have taken court and law very lightly. You are bound to pay maintenance. Giving divorce or not is the will of your wife and you cannot force her. Further payment of maintenance has nothing to do with divorce. You can file divorce case.

A.Hi,
You will have to pay the monthly maintenance as decided by the court. Then file for contested divorce if you have grounds.

A.Hi,
You will need to clear your maintenance dues as awarded by the court which is pending and after that proceed towards filing contested divorce case if there are any grounds for the same.

A.since the appeal is dismissed you are now liable to pay the maintenance as ordered by the court. Even if your wife is not willing to give you divorce you can file a contested divorce if you have grounds for the same and the court will grant you. If your wife do not want one time alimony it will be of your advantage after you remarry after the divorce. So file a case of divorce without any delay and pay her the maintenance as awarded by the court or challenge the maintenance before the same court if you can find some change circumstances. Get in touch for legal advice and filing of your case.

A.Dear Sir,
If it were 125 proceedings then she cannot claim more than 3 years arrears. Better file divorce case and go for one time settlement.
