My client Petitioner filed a M.C in the 1982 against her husband and she has been getting maintenance from 1982 enhancement petitions filed allowed and going on.. But the Respondent will retire from the service who is a Govt. servant in Road & Buildings Department (Attender)in the month of September, 2010. Can the Petitioner attach the gratuity, Provident Fund and other benefits of Respondent? If yes, is there any case laws reguarding this case. Please kindly suggest me case laws and how should we attach the respondent benefits. The petitioner is very poor old woman.
Waiting for quick reply.

No, she can not attach the same. Moreover, if the husband is paying the maintenance then what is the necessity to do that.
