One of my known is running with highly unmanagable marital relations. Both were married under Special Marriage Act 18 years back. Now husband is living in another city where he works and wife residing in another city with three childrens. Husband vists them at every week-end and gets only thrashing from wife. She always demand for money and money since husband earns 1 lakh a month. Husband has all records with him that he pays 80% of money to her every month and it is fact. Even then she usually arrive at office to create scene to pressurise husband to grab more money as she claims husband earns much more than he told her. Husband has showed him Income Tax Returns besides pay-slips, appointment letter, annual increment letters, etc. but of no avail.
Now for the sake of his childrens (he is of 52 yrs old) he do not apply for divorce. He only wishes that Court should decide a "Limit of Monthly Money" which he is to give to his wife. (Here to mention that husband deposits every month childrens' school/college fees/expenses, house loan's EMI, cars' loan EMI, electricity bills, etc. and pays left money to her after having amount with him to survive).
Question is: Can he apply to court for Deciding Maintenance/Settlement Money.
