Maintenance Claims and Financial Rights
Financial stability is a major concern after separation. I provide honest guidance on maintenance laws, helping you secure the support you are entitled to or contest unfair demands.
This M.P. High Court judgment clarifies a key aspect of maintenance law: a wife who remarries without divorcing her first husband cannot claim maintenance from the second. I provide guidance on such specific and complex maintenance scenarios.
In a maintenance dispute where paternity is questioned, the High Court has ordered a DNA test. This shows how courts use scientific evidence to ensure that maintenance orders are just and based on proven facts.
About Securing Your Financial Rights (Maintenance)
Maintenance cases hinge on proving financial realities, not just emotions. Whether you are claiming support for yourself and your children or contesting an unfair demand, the foundation of your case is an accurate Affidavit of Assets and Liabilities. I guide you through documenting your true income and expenses according to the latest court requirements, ensuring that when the judge reviews your case, they see the facts clearly.
Maintenance under Section 125 of the CrPC is designed to prevent destitution after a marital breakdown, but the process is often more technical than clients anticipate. Courts now strictly require the Affidavit of Assets and Liabilities as per the Rajnesh v. Neha format. You cannot simply state an income figure; you must provide evidence. If you are the one paying, we focus on documenting your liabilities and dependents to prevent an unsustainable order. If you are the one claiming, we work to substantiate your need for support.
Legal precedents are constantly evolving. As shown in recent judgments, courts are increasingly relying on objective evidence, such as DNA testing in paternity-linked maintenance disputes or strict interpretations regarding multiple marriages. You need an advocate who stays updated with these specific High Court rulings rather than relying on outdated procedures.
I handle everything from drafting your written statement to arguing your case before the Family Court Principal Judge at the Surajpur District Court. My goal is to ensure the truth—both financial and factual—is presented, preventing either party from being exploited by technicalities. I aim to provide a clear roadmap so you understand exactly what to expect at each hearing.
