A.Dear Client,

A husband cannot be made liable to pay alimony if the wife’s adultery is proved under the court of law. Therefore in Order to constitute a claim for the right of maintenance wife must be cleaned handed, she must be pure enough to claim for the maintenance.

Hope this clarifies your query and requirement.

Thank you.

A.Dear Sir,
You can seek divorce on the ground of adultery without any commitment to pay alimony but you must establish that she is in affair with such guy. You may get details of such guy and their further details in their affair by appointing private detective agencies.

A.First of all if your sister in law is agreed to give mutual consent divorce then you can send her a legal notice intimating her the amount which is affordable by your brother along with the draft of the mutual divorce petition. If she afmgrees with the said amount, then she will definitely send you back a positive reply and also the check copy of the mutual divorce petition along with all the required documents for filing. Otherwise if your sister in law demands some thing huge which is not affordable by your brother, then your brother should file a contested divorce suit against her on several grounds along with the evidences against her. For further query you need to consult with an advocate at earliest so that she cannot file a divorce suit against your brother alleging him with false allegations and also demanding alimony. Therefore for further legal assistance consult an advocate.
