Re: Child Maintenance
depending on monthly exp of your child and taking into consideration monthly income and expenses of you and your wife the court will fix the maintenance.
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.
