Divorce - My wife filed divorce and maintenance

Dear Client,
If the court has passed an ex parte divorce or maintenance order due to your absence, it does not necessarily mean that you have no legal remedy. Depending on the facts of your case and the applicable law, you may be able to apply to set aside the ex parte order by explaining the genuine reasons for your non-appearance, or challenge the order before the appropriate appellate court.

If your financial situation has changed since the maintenance proceedings began-for example, you are no longer working abroad and your income has reduced-you should gather documents that support your present financial condition, such as bank statements, employment records, business-related documents, and any evidence of your current income and liabilities. These can be relevant while seeking modification or challenging the maintenance amount.
