Maintenance to wife in foreign country

Dear Lawyers,

After my marriage, me and my wife moved to USA and recently I started living separately in the same city in USA because of disputes between us. Since my wife doesn't work here in USA I am paying rent, electricity, internet, water bills of my wife so far.

So my question is....if I dont pay for rent, electricty, internet, water bills do I need to face any consequences from the court in future?

There has to be a legal case ongoing for the court to intervene/ take any action. If you both are living seperately then why ur wife is still hanging in US, is she working anywhere ?

If you pay for her living in US she will enjoy staying there. Either resolve the matter amicably to reconcile or go for MCD before matters turn worse. Your wife will continue staying for another 5yrs and moment you stop paying her maintenance she will snap and file divorce claiming hefty alimony. So take a call or keep paying happily wondering what going to happen next.

Local or some other country.  Husband need not pay a penny to wife if she does not stay with him.  I advise you to stop paying for her, let her find a job, you inturn try to discuss mutual divorce with her, as you both were married in India.
