You may be entitled to adequate maintenance for your and your child support. Keeping into mind the cost of good education in India, you may claim maintenance of at least Rs.one lacs per month.

Re: maintainance for kid..

Yes The court cannot force or pass an order for taking your kids to USA. But you will get maintenence and international school fee for your kids in india. your children and yourself have a right to live at par with the standard of living. You can get a huge amount per month as conpensation if you can prove your husbands income and prove that your husband has no other liabiltites and dependents.
