Divorce Divorce

3 years ago

My husband (40 years) is a senior level government employee earning a net ₹ 43000 p.m. We are married for over 10 years and have a 8 year old child. I'm (35 years) a b.com graduate, stay at home mom. I worked for 4 years before wedding as a junior accountant at a monthly pay of ₹ 8500. It was as per my husband's wish that I didn't try for a job. We are going to file for mutual consent divorce soon. He owns a car & has no other assets or major investment It has been decided that our son will be staying with me. I have following queries : 1. Can I ask for than ₹ 30 lakhs as one time settlement? 2. How much amount will I get if I opt for monthly maintenance? 3. My widowed mother is a diabetic and earns a monthly pension of ₹ 1000. I'll be staying with her after divorce. So should I take into consideration her expenses while calculating alimony & will the court agree to it?

A.1. you can ask any amount but queston is that can he pay it if there is no assets or investment ? If there is any ancestral property atleast then you can be paid from it ?
2. Maximum upto 50% of his salary only.
3. unfortunately your mother is not liability of your husband. But how she can be living in 1000 pension ?

A.First you need to execute MOU with your expectations, then only file the HMA 13(b). The permanent alimony depends on your demand strength

A.1. Yes you can ask. As such law does not put any restriction on asking or raising demand. Is your husband able to pay?
2. You and your child may get half of salary if your husband does not have any other liability.
3. The earning and expenditure of your mother has nothing to do with your maintenance. The marriage was between you and your husband only.
