What can the wife do pending the divorce?

Before the Court makes a decision on the Petition for Dissolution of the marriage, the wife can apply to the Court for the following orders:

(1) An order from the Court (in legal jargon it is known as ‘Injunction’) to stop the husband from molesting the wife.
(2) The wife can also apply for an injunction to stop her husband from selling or transferring his properties to others with the intention that the wife will not be able to get her rightful share when the Court proceeds to distribution of matrimonial properties (properties acquired during the marriage.) The Court can set aside any transfer of property were purchased three years before the divorce petition.
(3) The wife can also ask for a temporary order from the Court for maintenance of herself and the children and right of custody of the children.
