Mantainance for child

Guest (Querist) 04 August 2013 This query is : Resolved 
If both the spouses are earning equally is the wife eligible for claiming maintenance for the child ?
ajay sethi (Expert) 04 August 2013
husband cannot wash his hands of his responsibility as father for maintenance of the child . wife can claim maintenance for the child
Rajendra K Goyal (Expert) 04 August 2013
Yes, she can.
Devajyoti Barman (Expert) 04 August 2013
yes but for not whole expenses of the child but half or part of it.
R.K Nanda (Expert) 04 August 2013
she can claim it for child.
Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 05 August 2013
Husband has the primary responsibility to maintain the child so the mother of the child can demand maintenance for her child from her husband.
Guest (Querist) 05 August 2013
thanks for the guidance. I was also of such an opinion by going through the older posts. but my lawyer says clearly that i cant claim maintenance for the child as i am earning myself . Is this a very common thing that my lawyer is missing. Does this mean that i should change the lawyer ?
ajay sethi (Expert) 05 August 2013
dont be too judgmental . tell your lawyer to claim maintenance and accept whatever orders court passes
Guest (Querist) 05 August 2013
OK. Thank you sir. This is the first time for us in court and I was very worried.
I will do as suggested. Thanks again.
