U have done right thing. Alomy should be 1/3rd of your income 1/3rd wife and 1/3rd child

The maintenance may be upto 1/3 of the pay.
PMS Sekar (Querist) 24 June 2015
If I gave Alimony 1/3 To my wife & Child means 2/3 of my Pay . That will become huge amount & Even If i am single the balance amount is sufficient to run a life now a days.

pls clarify detailed sir anybody

In law determination of alimony is discretionary matter. Court has inherent power to decide it considering life style of the husband and wife and quantum of earnings of the husband. Here earning means not only monthly salary but also other incomes of the husband. Any way when the Decree of Divorce has not yet been made you need not to bother about alimony, if it will not agreeable to you then you can enjoy the option to challenge the decree before higher forum.

When you married a girl you might have thought of all pros and cons including your duties and obligations. AFTER MARRIAGE YOU ENJOYED YOUR BRIDE and when such relation turned into a dissolution why you will not pay maintenance according to law as it will be decided by the court as lawful? God forbids if it was a case of your nearest and dearest one what would be you say?

sir, mistaken done by by bride & her family, I am ready for paying as a duty & as per law . If most of my Money payed from my pocket is not gud for my remaining life.
till I file divorce case , I tried 1000 % to join with her & my daughter. But For Money She & her Mom & dad doesnt agreed bcoz of law & Govt Employee.

Now most of the verdicts i am hearing are against are genuine person.

Do you mean to say that for greed of money and being allured with your job your wife gave birth of a child out of her wed lock?
Do you know how much pain and physical trouble she had to tolerate during her pregnancy that caused by you? Do you mean to say such sufferings she had to face because she could get a chance to squeeze money from you afterwards? Do you think that the Learned Lawyers of this Forum who conducted many identical and similar cases are unable to guess the situation under which your wife had to stay with her parents' house leaving you and your family members?
