What happens if I disagree to my husband’s divorce petition?
My husband has filed for divorce, and the divorce papers have already arrived. He has a government job, while I am a housewife and do not earn anything. My husband claims in the divorce papers that I create an unpleasant and unpeaceful environment in the house. He has been having an affair with a woman from his workplace since June 2024, and he has written that I suspect him of having an extramarital affair and lie to people about it. We have fought about this matter many times. He has also physically beaten me sometimes, though I do not have any proof of the abuse or the affair. I have two children: one is around eighteen and the other around fourteen. We have been married for almost 20 years now. If I do not agree to the divorce, will there be any legal consequences? And if I do agree to it, will my children and I have a secure future?
If you do not agree to divorce, your husband can proceed with a contested divorce. You can seek maintenance and custody of your children, especially if there is evidence of abuse. You should consult a family lawyer to protect your rights, negotiate a fair settlement, and ensure financial security for you and your children.
