QWhen we draft Responses or Rejoinder to a petition (especially in personal law cases such as matrimonial cases, which tend to be very fact-based), we ask clients to prepare a para-wise reply. Basically your answer (eg. denial to certain allegation / correct version of events etc.) to every point the other side has made. Even in commercial matters, we ask the client/company official to give us a para-wise response. Then we draft the petition as per your responses. No one expects you to know or cite the law. It’s only limited to factual information that your lawyer is not aware of. It’s very routine and you should cooperate with him.QLodge an FIR at your nearest police station. Ask the police to “register” the FIR. Don’t just let them out in down as a station diary entry. That means nothing. You need to get it registered. Write everything down in a letter beforehand. It’ll make it easy to fill up the FIR format. If they refuse to register, there are certain ways to get it registered as well. You can write a letter to the Superintendent of Police that the police station on refusing to register the FIR and request him to direct the police station to register it. If nothing happens even after that, you need to consult a lawyer to file a 1CC case before a Magistrate who will then direct the police to register it. After a direction from magistrate, police will have no choice but to register it. Please remember, unless and until you get the FIR registered, investigation cannot start. Once FIR is registered, police will investigate and file its report. That is a criminal proceeding.
Divorce case is completely separate. You need to consult a matrimonial lawyer or a family law practitioner, and get them to send a legal notice for divorce. Divorce is a civil proceeding. You need to also file for maintenance and child custody.
You can also ask your sister to file a DV case or a domestic violence case, which is again a completely separate legal proceeding.
