	Hi Sujay,  That is a possiblity nowadays as live-in relationships are not considered as a taboo.  But it is a risk wife is taking and in cases where  wife  is seeking divorce because she is having an affair  there is a good chance that a marriage will happen soon. I think thisthe finacial advantage of lumpsum/ monthly alimony hast  to be considered on a case by case basis.  Again if wife asks for  an amount which is more than to  10+ years * monthly alimony .  It is better to pay monthly becasue you can  put that amount into bank and pay her monthly ( considering inflation too)

Hi Tony:

Inflation deflation, what happens tomrw, nobody knows.

If God forbid, something happens to the husband, wife can still claim maintenance via property.

Why take so much burden, and strain one's own mind.  Its always better to go for one shot payment.

So the options are before Venkat now, let him decide.

Hi All, Thanks for your time and valuable suggestions, If maintaince,from which date it will starts to pay maintaince, after giving final judgement, if not? and if pay lumpsum amount when we get divorce immediately or? please clarify.

Maintenance is calculated from the date when your wife has filed application for claiming alimony.  That will be interim alimony, giving temporary relief.

After final judgement, again alimony will be fixed, that too only if the wife claims alimony, on reciept of such application, alimony again will be awarded.

Each application for alimony is valid for only one year, after the end of each year, wife has to file a new application for alimony.

The court will never order to pay alimony without recieving application.
