A.The amount of maintenance depend upon earning of parties ,their status etc so if wife does not have independent income or does not have sufficient income to be able to maintain herself then court should consider total earning of husband from all sources be it pension, fixed deposits, rental income if any etc and can award upto 50% if total income if husbabd as maintenance to wife.

A.Hi,
A divorced woman can claim maintenance from her husband if she is financially weak. The family pension will be given to his family and once such a relationship ceases to exist, that claim can't be made.

A.Hi,
The husband is bound to give maintenance to his wife after the divorce. If you are talking about family pension, that will be given to the employee's family and once the relationship ceases to exist, you can't claim it but subject to conditions of the agreement.
