My wife is BCom. , LLB.

she is not working.

We married before 1 year and want to get divorce

I have no other income except this and i don't own any house or property.

My father is 74 years old and mother 70 years.

My Sister is 34 years and unmarried.

Can you tell me how much i have to pay to my wife for one time settlement or for whole life ?

Reply by RAJIV GUPTA:

------------------------

alimony is generally decided as per mutual agreement. better go for a settlement instead of dragging the case for years.

My Question :

----------------------------

Agreed , but they are more interested in money and if both party don't mutually agree then At Max how much i need to pay her which would be decided by Court
