Yes,either the husband or the wife can claim alimony after divorce according to their financial status at the time of divorce.
Anand Bali Adv. (Advocate Solicitor & Consultant) 17 July 2015
Yes she can clim maintenance or one time alimony from her ex husband any time till she gets married herself again.
However, her no demand at the time of divorce will have weight in your favour at the time of trial for the petition of the demand of Alimony or regular maintenance.
For further legal advise you can call or meet personally along with full details.
