Mr. Vilas , Ur wife has filed a petition of maitaninace aganist you in two different courts one at Pimpri and other at Kalyan. Court case can be filed at any one place either where she resides or u resides, two places of filing petition is not allowed in law n its procedures. On cruelty ground u have filed a divorce petition, its ok. so what stage does ur case is proceeding with? what work/job u do? what is ur income per month? Is ur wife a working lady? Do u have any property self acqiured or anseatral one? all these if you answer then you can get a satisfied and complete answer to ur querry. let us know in ur next visit on net on this web. Ur not working right now, but what about ur qualification? u didnt let know, usaually from Rs 500/- Minimum maintaince amount starts but as per the status and standred of leaving of the person and number of children etc..etc.. maintainace is provided.

For assessing the amount of maintenance, the court takes into account various factors like position and liabilities of the husband. It also judges whether the wife is justified in living apart from husband. justifiable reasons are spelt out in the Act. Maintenance pendente lite (pending the suit) and even expenses of a matrimonial suit will be borne by either, husband or wife, if the either spouse has no independent income for his or her support. The same principle will govern payment of permanent maintenance.
Your wife can not file two petition for Maintenance, this is not permissible in law.
