maintainance arrears during mutual consent divorce?

Not a bad suggestion from member Autohide,act accordingly

If you go behind arrears, you will have to file execution petition of maintenance case.

But it depends on what terms and conditions are drafterd in MCD.

Going for execution petitoin will lead to warrant issue if he does not pay, 1 month jail if not paid old balance, after that old balance is written off.  New balance starts.

You better file execution petition by discussing with your lawyer.  Dont let the maintenance case go.  FIle a permanent maintennace application too, if you take alimony once for all, you wont get money each month, so I suggest you to file 125 crpc applicatoin seeking permannet alimony.

You can file like suggested above or you can file ulitmate weapon 498a.  Chances are he will come up with good figure for one time settlement and you can jollywell get divorced too.  Think about it.

Once both of U come to a conclusion that U cannot live together,my sincere advice is to opt for MCD,which would be easier with out legal hasseles.The court will strictly act according to the contents of the MCD and the  statements of both the parties.maintenance to bepaid and the arrearers to be recovered can be penned in the MOU.

Hence instead of running after courts wasting time and money make sure that MCD goes through.I am not suggesting criminal cases to be applied in case MCD goes wrong,at this stage these are immaterial.

If after a MCD decree, husband is not paying the maintenance according to the decree or there are arrears ?

please suggest the remedy with the divprced wife.

Also can a divorced wife seek the help of ex husband for issuing caste certificates for children.
