Hi,
It is surprising that there is no clarity on how the maintenance is decided yet. Not even on.. If its really awarded to ladies who are well able to maintain themself.
In my case, Wife filed domestic violence in Delhi court and date for interim maintenance falls next month.
She has submitted affidavit to court stating that she is postgraduate and earning a handsome 50K per month.
I working with a private services firm and earn around 90K per month.. I have my parents (retired) dependent on me and housing loan for which there is an installment of 28,000 each month.
Its a two year old marriage with no kids. She has asked for 25K maintenance per month and 25K for seperate rented accomodation.
Can someone please advise based on basis of personal experience if maintenance is awarded to a Wife who is earning well, is a post graduate and able to well maintain herself?
Some people say "its not awarded to well educated and earning wifes", some say "its awarded but less in amount".
I am really confused how it is decided and how to ensure she gets zero maintenance.
Kindly help with your experiences and judgements.
Thanks.
