Hi all,
I had 2nd counselling in the family court wherein myself and spouse agreed for mutual consent for interim child access and maintenance. Divorce was filed by my wife. i agreed to pay 3000 p.m. as interim maintenance against access but the counsellor forced me to pay 5000 p.m. and she didnt listen to me. Accordingly, i signed on the interim consent paper due to her pressure. Now I feel that 3000 pm was the appropriate one and not keen to pay 5000 pm. So please guide me what sort of action should be taken to revised the interim maintenance figure ?

Nothing can be done. Why you have signed if unwilling to pay more under pressure. Go for appeal.

Once agreed cannot be taken back. You should not have accept the moral force of counsellor and should have refused to sign at that time but nothing can be done now.

The counseller could not force you to agree on his proposal. It was up to you to agree or disagree on the proposal. However, it is not your feeling, which could be the decisive force to fix interim maintenance. Amount of maintenance depends upon your earning, based on which maintenance can be fixed. If you feel that your income is not sufficient enough to afford Rs.5,000 as interim maintenance, you may better file an application with proof of income before the court for revision of the maintenance amount.
