For a divorce, where the marital relations have been terminated by an agreement, the wife would be entitled to claim maintenance from her ex-husband as long as she remains unmarried or is unable to maintain herself.
SHIRISH PAWAR, 7738990900 (Advocate) 29 April 2022
Hello,
Your wife is already working and drawing Rs. 15000 so this can be a ground for rejecting her claim of maintenance amount. The court fees for filing a divorce petition is minimum and it will not exceed Rs. 100. You can file a divorce petition in any of the jurisdictions of Kolkatta or Raipur.

Hello sir!
Section 13B of the the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955, deals with divorce by mutual consent. You can file the divorce petition at the family court which has jurisdiction over your matrimonial home(where you last resided as married couple after your wedding) or at the family court at the place where the marriage had taken place.
The court would ask to pay maintenance if the wife is unable to take care of herself. Ofcourse when a couple gets divorced by mutual consent, the decision on whether any alimony/maintenance is to be paid by either party is a matter of agreement between the couples themselves. In Rajat Gupta v. Rupali Gupta, the court says that the agreement between the parties to settle their issues and opt for divorce by mutual consent is a binding agreement and a form of undertaking.
