Potagi/maintenance

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 26 January 2010 This query is : Resolved
I'm working professional and earning around 30-32 thousand per month as salary. I have huge loans for my own marriage and wife's jeweleries with EMI of 20 thousand per month. This EMI will last for next 5 years. My wife is asking for divorce now, she is also earning with 25-28 thousand per month as salary. We stay separate since last 6 months and have no child.
I want to know about alimony or potagi amount she might ask (by consulting with her lawyer) or court may grant during divorce. I don't have any document to prove that I made all expenses in marriage as most of bills are with her.
Requesting you all to help me here.

When your wife is employed and earning a huge amount of salary, she cannot claim alimony from you. It is better you collect information or documents if possible about the employer of your wife, her designation, nature of job and salary. This might help in case she files a case, even though falsely, for alimony during divorce.
