Legal Question in Family Law in India
Sir, I am an Indian married to US (Arizona) based Indian and I have a 4 years child. We both are still Indian citizen and our child is US citizen by birth. My husband filed for divorce in USA when I was in India. I have decided to stay in India as I am a housewife and cannot get job in USA. Now I plan to file for child custody & child support in Indian court. Please let me know how to calculate child support so that it is acceptable to Indian court. Is there a excel template that I can use to calculate child support? Thanks for your time, Regards

dear client u can ask monthly maintenance for child by filling case under sec 125 of criminal procedure code against husband. court will grant 25 % of his monthly income as maintenance. for detail discussion call me

You may file case of maintenance of your child, actual expenditure and few amount will be granted by court usually. rest depends upon your lawyer.
Good luck.
There is no set formulae for claiming maintenance/child support in India and it all depends upon the facts and circumstance of the case. you may invoke the provisions of Indian laws and you both are indian citizens.
