Maintenance u/s24

Dear All

I have filed a divorce case and in retaliation my wife has filed Domestic Violence case and she also filed an application for maintenance under both the courts u/s. I accepted my salary as 30K and maintenance was fixed at 8000. Now she has filed an appeal with ADJ and asked for increase in that appeal. Case is in Karnal Court

My question:

Are there any chances of increase in maintenance ?

If yes how much can be the amount ?

what evidence can be considered in such cases ?

How to contest such a case?

Your expert advise will be highly appreciated. 

Thank you/Nischay

1 &2 . No (Possibly)

3&4. Sources of income and fulfillment of needs of your wife will be considered, if you proved the amount is well enough for her then no increase & even you can raise your points o lowered it.

Thank you Gurchal Sir

In the worst case , if maintenance is increased :

  • is it possible to appeal against that order.
  • if yes , then to whom does the appeal lies? is it the District Session Judge or High Court .

Thanks Again
