Maintenance amount

My wife separated from me around 3 years back. I have a son 4 years old. Both me and my wife have been working. I have around 10 years experience and she is working in a MNC for the past 7 years. I would like to know what the the possible maintenance amount that i will be required to pay "in case of a mutual" DV.

When your wife has sufficient earnings, you need not pay any amount towards her maintenance.

But, you need to pay for your child depending on his needs.

Till the child attains majority...It is generally considered as till he completes education.

Go for a Mutual Consent and negotiate for the settlement amount anywhere between 10-20 lacs

Both the parents are supposed to maintain child in equal share if they are working.

Giving Monthly Maintenance is better than one time settlement.
