CRPC 125 Maintenance

Jaslok

You need to attend the court on the day of hearing since the court has not decided the amount. So before passing any order you are required to file written answer to the submissions made by the wife. On the day of hearing attend the court with relevent  documents and say to judge whatever are your submissions. The court will decide the amout of maintenance only after having your submissions.

Since the marriage is concerned and admitted by you have to pay maintenance allowance, but you may file objection stating your income proof.

jaslok

it does not matter what amount has been demanded by the wife. The maintenance is awarded having regard to income, resposibilities of wife/husband and so on .........

sanjeev

ok.

But can the court ask to pay 12000/- even if income falls to 3000/-4000/- p.m.

This is not about only maintenance

1) If she has left you willfully then you can fight in the court for no maintenance

2) If you left her willfully then she has rights to demand maintenance

3) If you divorced then too she has rights to cliam maintenance ( till she get married)

4) if she working or worked earlier and graduate then you can fight to reduce th maintenance or for working women court might give thums-up by saying no maintenance

5) if she is getting otherincome like ( property/ rent/ business) then again court might give thums-up by saying no maintenance

As sanjeev said here,

it does not matter what amount has been demanded by the wife. The maintenance is awarded having regard to income, resposibilities of both wife/husband and so on

So apply your submission in court - all the best

you should submit in court your real income with income proof for example ITR, bank statement.. the court may also ask for ur property details

if u decrease ur income the court may not believe you, try to find whats ur wife's educational qualification. if she is qualified and she is capable to earn then you may not have to pay any maintenance
