Divorce Maintenance And Alimony matters need an advocate who knows both the law and the daily working of the court. Advocate Manish Kumar of S.S Associates practises from Chamber No. 551-B at the Dwarka Courts and appears before Karkardooma, advising clients in Hindi and English and keeping every consultation confidential.

The Legal Framework

Maintenance is financial support paid to a spouse, or children, who cannot support themselves. Under the Hindu Marriage Act, Section 24 lets the court order interim maintenance and litigation expenses while a case is pending, and Section 25 allows permanent alimony when the decree is passed or later. A claim can also be made under Section 144 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which replaced Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and under the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956.

There is no fixed formula. Courts look at the income and property of both spouses, the standard of living during the marriage, the wife’s education and earning capacity, the number of dependants, the length of the marriage and any liabilities. In Rajnesh v. Neha the Supreme Court directed both sides to file a detailed affidavit of assets and liabilities so the court can decide on facts and not guesswork.

A husband may also have a genuine case for reduction or against an inflated claim. We examine pay records, business accounts and lifestyle evidence, and we present a balanced picture. Where possible, maintenance is settled as a one-time payment, which removes years of future litigation for both sides.

How A Divorce Maintenance And Alimony Case Proceeds

1. Review of both parties’ income, expenses, property and the history of the marriage.
2. Preparation of the affidavit of assets, income and liabilities in the format directed by the Supreme Court.
3. Filing of the application for interim maintenance, litigation expenses or permanent alimony.
4. Hearing on interim relief, usually decided early in the case.
5. Evidence on income and expenses where the figures are disputed.
6. Final order, and if needed, execution proceedings to recover arrears.

Documents We Ask You To Prepare

• Income tax returns and salary slips for the last three years
• Bank statements and investment records
• Property papers and details of loans
• Proof of expenses for children and household
• Medical or educational records showing dependency
• Marriage certificate and any earlier court orders

Timeline And What Affects It

Interim maintenance is normally decided within a few months of the application. Permanent alimony is fixed at the end of the case, or earlier when the parties settle. Recovery of arrears can take further time, and we advise on enforcement options where payments stop.
