Husband has the primary responsibility to maintain the child so the mother of the child can demand maintenance for her child from her husband.

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 ?

dont be too judgmental . tell your lawyer to claim maintenance and accept whatever orders court passes
