Re: Child Maintenance

You may be just presuming. she is not likely to claim child maintenance if her income is double than yours.

However, it goes like this : normally, the court may first determine the monthly expense and then prorate the same on both the parents;

say, e.g. : the monthly maintenance expense for the child is : Rs.15,000/-; and one spouse earn 50K whereas the other spouse earn 25K;

the expense is likely to be divided in the ratio of : 2 : 1.
