Family court awarded wife 35000 pm

How much did she demand in her petition ?

You can file an appeal in Session's court praying for revision or even review of the maintainence orders granted to the wife.

Challenge the basis of maintenance grant for a working wife. If you can bring on records proof that she was working but choses not to only to live off you, there are caselaws in your favour. Best of luck.

In her petition she asked for 70000. She was working 6 years ago and has also filed an affidavit saying she was working 6 years ago but not now. She filed this because in her application somewhere she had written "I am working and cant come to court everytime". But judge ignored everything.

If the statement's you've mentioned are part of the record at Trial, you can certainly use them in appeal to get the order reviewed, or even partly modified and get her maintainance award rescinded. Please consult your Advocate.

Yes surely...The judge just went for the defacto 1/3 rule.

If your wife is a masters degree holder, I have at least 5 citations in Bombay family court, where wife's alimony is denied. All are based on Mamta Jaishwal vs Rajesh Jaishwal famous case for Mamta's interim denial by Madhya Pradesh HC Indore bench. Let me know.

Mr Anirban, Please send us details of all 5 cases of Bombay HC, i have a case where these citations will be extremely useful, thanks in advance

Yes please Anirban. I will PM you my email ID. Many thanks

I am attaching a judgement from Delhi Tis Hazari where the man has lost job, woman is not highly qualified but a beautician, see para 6 of the order, attaching here only so that others see the judgement. Issued 3 days back, this judge Mona Karketta is deadly for women.

I look forward to the useful citations you've mentioned Anirban. Thank you for sharing.

Some more citations

SC has clearly stated that a qualified wife cannot sit idle and claim maintenance from husband.U could have proved it in the court.But for the son U are bound to pay.

The responsibility to maintain child is a responsibility to be born jointly by husband and wife, where the wife is working. Its not ONLY the husband as per law.

Beta.
