Legal Question in Family Law in India
If the husband resigns from the partnership firm during the pendency of the divorce petition, but with effect from a date prior to filing of the petition, can the wife be denied maintenance on that ground?
How would law of maintenance help wives if the husbands deliberately disaccociate themselves
from all the financial assets/income etc just before filing the petition for divorce?

well to answer this i would certainly like to know that whether you r asking as husband who wants to do this thing or a wife whose husband had done it..law speaks in favour and against also. So kindly make ur scene clear to make me clear..thanks
a husband cannot avoid his responsibility of maintenance towards his wife merely by disassociating himself from his regular business, job or financial affairs. His responsibility continues even if he declares himself a pauper.
