---   do not worry, if any unreasonable amount ordered you have the right to appeal against it.

Dear Arun

You have mentioned here that, your wife has only filed a case u/s- 125Cr.P.C against you. It automatically cannot make her eligible to get maintenance. She has to prove the grounds for maintenance. One think you should remember that - you tell before the court that you dont want to live separately with her, rather she herself want to live separately from you & thus demanding maintenance.

Even if she succeeds in the case, the court must see the various parameters viz. your present income, her ability to earn livelihood. You shoud argue that even if she left you she can earn her livelihood as because she is a graduate.

After all you can consult with a local lawyer and tell him the detail, definitely you can get the justice.

Dear Bhawani,

Thanx for your reply. Just one thing to inform that I had already filed Divorce case against her under Section 13.

She has not come for any hearings till now.

I know that at the end of the day I will have to give maintenance to her. But my question is that what is the maximum amount the court can order considering my income , my dedeuctions and my liabilities ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

any disease ur parents have?

plead ur case strongly thru an expert lawyer also which state u are in. it cud be approx in range of 10 k or lesser if pleaded properly, its a discretion of court.

Is it just you or even your wife needs a divorce? If she needs more than you then i would suggest approaching through court for reuniting. If she declines then the case is very clear and she will not be entitled for any maintenance. play smart, rather being emotional. I am not a lawyer BTW, but experts could advice further in this approach.
