Can I apply for a personal loan for divorce alimony?

Can I apply for a personal loan stating that it is for paying the debt incurred for my marriage expenses, so that in a divorce case, I may get some advantage in terms of permanent alimony? Along with my income, I can submit my loan details as well. If yes, when should I take the personal loan? An FIR has not been registered yet, and the first counseling session has been completed, but my wife failed to follow the counseling advice given by the police.

Sir, taking a personal loan just to show debt for your marriage expenses probably would not help reduce alimony in a divorce. The court mainly looks at your actual income, assets, and debts. If you take the loan, make sure it’s real and properly documented. Trying to manipulate the situation could hurt you in the long run. It’s always better to talk to a lawyer to guide you on what is best for your case. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
