Divorce case-no maintenance no financial disclosures

Dear Client,

Yes, this can definitely work in your favour. If your husband is a petitioner in a Testamentary Petition, it indicates that he is either claiming rights over a will or estate, which directly reflects his financial capacity or expected assets this becomes relevant in your divorce and maintenance proceedings.

His failure to attend court, repeated adjournments, non-payment of maintenance, and non-disclosure of income can be raised as deliberate avoidance, and you can bring the Testamentary Petition on record to show that he has financial interests but is suppressing them. You can request the Family Court to draw an adverse inference against him for not filing financial disclosures and seek directions for disclosure of assets, along with interim maintenance and even costs for delay.

Courts generally take a serious view when a party hides income but is simultaneously involved in property or inheritance proceedings, so strategically using this information can strengthen your claim for fair maintenance and financial protection.
