Notice sent to move back with husband
2 years ago
My friend has not been staying with her husband for over 4 years now. She had moved to her father's house after her baby was born. The husband has not bothered to meet the child nor spent a single penny on him. My friends father has been providing for both of him. Her husband has sent her a notice warning/ threatening her to move in back with her in-laws. The in-laws live a joint family, they did not treat my friend well when she stayed there on the first year of the marriage and she was forced to perform rituals, the entire housework was thrust on her. Her health suffered because of this stress. Her husband earns very little and does not want her to work but wants her to adjust within his means. My friend is highly educated and wants to work to support the family and save for her child's future. She does not want a divorce,bshe wants her husband to move out and stay and have their own unit. Her husband has sent her a second notice today. Should she reply to it? What will happen if she ignores it? What can be done to come to a mutual decision without taking it to court? Does a lawyer need to intervene ? Can she bill her husband for the notice she is sending since she doesn't want to seperate?
Your Friend may try to solve the dispute with her husband with the help of family or common friend or any advocate in such case.
if the husband denise from agreeing upon any mutually established conditions then she may file for a maintenance case before the court for her and the child.
Thank You.

Both parties can appoint a mediator to settle this dispute. So that without the court proceedings, you can settle this issue. The role of the mediator is to talk to both parties and find a solution for your problems. It is not mandatory to reply to a legal notice but it is better to do so.

It is not mandatory to respond to a legal notice but it is advisable to send an appropriate reply to the notice. For that, you can consult a lawyer. If you do not want this issue to come to court, both parties can appoint a mediator to settle the dispute.
