wife claming maintanance

A wife living in adultry is not entitled to receive any maintainance.

Sir, As Archana ji has told, your wife cannot claim maintenance from you now ,when she is living with another man.

Adultry is not easy to prove. But  the letter releasing the husband from all future claims has some force. 

The allegation of adultry must be proved before court. The divorce petition already has been dismissed as you have stated in your query . The maintainance petition is maintanable.

 You can't prove anything. Law is loaded heavily in favour of the woman. Living with another woman and another man is not adultery. It is a charge that is loosely defined and used but hardly every proved. She will end up claiming and getting maintenance from you.

if you are having sufficent proofs/evidence to prove that wife is living with some other man in adultry than she is not entitled for maintainance from husband.

As she herself written that she will not claim and got the one time settlement amount then she is not entitle for maintenance. Moreover, what about divorce you did not clear?

Further, do you have any evidence to proof that she is living with that guy, even then it is a strong point of adultry and she will not be entitle for any maintenance and on that point you can got divorce also, if you have not divorce till date.
