Section 24 of hma

 

I filed a divorce case against my wife in year 2012 on the ground of curelty and she filed application u/s 24 and 26 of HMA for maintenance for herself and our child.

I am earning 9000 per month.

Court last month allowed maintenace of 5000 per month for child and wife from the date of filing the maintenance application i.e from aug 2012

and i am paying the same.

Now my wife has filed execution petition for recovery of arrears of Rs 3 lac

Question :

When court itself belived that i am earning 9000 rs how  can i pay 3 lacs to her ?

What should i do?

They are the arrears.  Show your bonafides and start paying some amount of the arrears every month.  You can always explain to the Court that you are not in a position to pay the 3,00,000/- up front.  The Court has to consider the same.

As I am not an advocate, advocates should correct me if I am wrong. Court hurries through the process of interim maintenance. Unless husband drags it. Husband usually thinks that by delaying the IA, he is at an advantage. It is rarely so. If a bigger amount is sanctioned unfortunately,  he has to struggle. What prevented you from submitting your income proof  at the earliest. If a big amount is sanctioned, you have to clear 50% of the arrears before doing anything. Even my lawyer said " kheenchnae ka hai?" Never drag the case from your side if you are not at  fault. Fighting in the start is like prevention. Appealing is like trying to cure.
