Re: Maintaince Amount

There is not hard & fast rule to determine the amount of maintenance. There are certain factors contributing in it. Only either at the forum of court it can be determined or it is determined by mutual consents.

Earning of wife may be one factor but other factors such her needs etc. are also taken into consideration while fixing maintenance.
