Dear Ld. experts,
My wife has filed Divorce petition under mental cruelty. She is demanding 15000 p.m. as a maintenance for my 2 yrs. old kid and additional 15000 p.m. for her rental accomodation in a posh locality. She is working and earning around 38000 p.m. The same salary she has also mentioned in her divorce petition.
I am earning a gross salary of 60000 p.m. First counselling session has already passed whereby I have desired to keep my wife and kid and continue my marital relations. I am aware that my wife has a grim chance of getting any maintenance at the same time I am also willing to maintain my kid. Now my query is that can I send some money every month to my kid as 15000 p.m. for such a small kid is too high. Will this create any positive impact in the mind of judge and accordingly, can lower maintenance towards my kid. Also, wanted to know that how much maintenance amount is required for a 2 yr. old kid.
In case judge declares any maintenance amt. to my wife and I dont follow it then what would be the punishment and after facing such punishment still i refused to pay any maintenance amt. to my wife then what would be the worst case scenario?
Thanks & regards
