Recently discussed this matter with my lawyer. wife working and having income around 70% of what i earn. lawyer mentions that the child maintenance is to be shared. but prior to that it might be required that i need to deposit some amount (x lacs) in the child's name to show the seriousness of it. not sure why that is required as if i default on the maintenance law will anyway catch me on this. any thoughts by the forum members on this. also i udnerstand that since my wife earns around 70% of what i earn i need to share equally for my son's maintenance.
