For calculating maintenance

The court considers the status of the parties, their respective needs, the capacity of the husband to pay, having regard to reasonable expenses for his own maintenance and others whom he is obliged to maintain under the law and statute. Alimony should be such as she can live in reasonable comfort considering her status and mode of life she was used to live when she lived with her husband prior to divorce. It cannot be so excessive that it affects the living condition of the spouse. Court will look into all aspects before granting alimony. Your old income statements may be irrelevant now.

Sir, Should not be relied upon the past incomes and all ..... There must be some landmark judgements I am sure in this regard..... Warm Regards Kapil Chandna Adv 9899011450
