If the party goes out of India then what are the legal impilcations for non payment of alimony by the party? How can one be assured of continual payment of alimony? If you can answer these questions we will be highly obliged from the worried parents of a soon to take divorce daughter

Dear sir,


Separation is always painful, but sometimes it becomes a necessity.


I always feel that the matter of alimony should be decided on mutual consent and agreement and separation should come without much ill will. Further a wife should take alimony only when she is not able to maintain herself and husband is in a position to pay. Based on these principles if you try to settle for an amount, it will be there with you as a good support.


When alimony is decided in a bitter legal proceeding, both the parties are aggrieved, and in those cases if a party decides not to honour the order by one excuse or other, the enforcement of the order may cost sometimes more than the alimony.


Keep these things in consideration, i dont think much problem will happen.
