Maintenance criteria

A husband and wife are seperating / divorcing after 22 years of marriage.

The husband is unemployed and is earning Rs.20000/- per annum doing odd jobs as declared in his income tax return.

The wife is earning Rs.476000/- per annum doing fashion designing as declared in her income tax return.

Is the alimony demand of the wife tenable ?  

does the court have to take into consideration income of both parties to the case before deciding alimony ?

Can the husband ask for alimony ?

This is the question faced by our client and this post is merely to include any opinion/judgments missed by our office

You have not mentioned anything about the assets of the man and the woman (also their liabilities)

What about the children?
