Re: Two Interim Maintenance Orders in Civil Procedures

Since you have filed Section 9 petition, it is your duty to establish your bona fides.

You should not be seen as the one denying maintenance to your wife.

The factors for determining quantum of maintenance under HAMA are different than those under HMA.

She is entitled to live life as per your standard of living which she was used to before separation.

Instead of contesting her maintenance application, you should make sure she live comfortably as per your own standard of living.

Legally, the court may grant her a higher amount of maintenance under HMA and adjust the maintenance she is already getting under HAMA. Usually, maintenance under HMA is higher than that granted under HAMA.
