Dear expert Lawyers,
Need Advice…..
I am fighting DV case filed in mumbai bandra court, by my wife with all false allegations. Counseling sessions are over and counselor has made its final report with no settlement and hence the case will continue in court. In last hearing my wife has applied for my 2 years salary slip from my company and also my last 2 year's income tax statement. My wife has applied for interim maintenance and she applied for 5k for herself and 5k for our 2 years old son. I am B.com graduate and working in private company with net salary of 27,500k per month. I have my ill mother who is a diabetic patient and also I have to look after her.
My wife is also b’com graduate and has done IATA/UFTA course and was working previously and had left the job due to pregnancy. Presently she is staying with her mother and married brother, her mother and bother both are working in GOVT sector, my wife presently is not working and said in the application that due to our son is just 2years old she has to look after him and is unemployed. I am going to submit my true salary details to the court in next hearing….
My queries are as below:-
1. 1. Approx. how much interim maintenance will I have to pay? Will it be exactly the amount as pleaded by my wife ie. 5k for her and 5k for our son.
2. 2. If she is well educated and qualified with previous working background but currently unemployed, in that case too will she be awarded the interim maintenance (Please note: I am ready to pay interim maintenance to our son as my responsibility being a father, but due to mental cruelty by my wife I am not at all ready to give her any kind of money. She just want to extort money from me with all her false allegation).
Awaiting for reply from you experts……
Thanks in Advance.
