1) Both father and mother are in software profession. Is there a method to calculate maintenance amount for child paid by father?
2) What are the criterias for the court to decide maintenance amount?

4) Can a father file petition and ask for complete custody of child after child ages 5 years?
5) For how long monthly maintenance has to be paid?
Thanks a lot in advance
