False allegation False allegation

4 years ago

I am the respondent drafting counter petition to my spouse's (petitioner's) divorce petition.

1. If I state and prove that the allegations are false, but agree with divorce, will the divorce be granted? If so, under what grounds?
2. I am willing to give divorce, but at the same time want to dismiss the petition. Is it legally possible to dismiss the petition (even if I state that I am ok with divorce)?
3. What if I do not mention my willingness about divorce in the counter? Is it mandatory?

A.Dear Sir,
You need not admit her allegations and as a counter you may file your own divorce petition or make counter allegations and ask the Court to give divorce on your counter allegations and not on the allegations made by your wife. Relevant issues will be framed and each party will be asked to discharge the respective issues by each party.
