I'm a working women who earns 5lacs per annum. Husband earns more than 12 lacs per annum. How much alimony can a working women ask for, if husband wants divorce.

We do not have child and Wife is more educated than the husband.

A.Dear Madam,

There is no jacket formula to get alimony and you may get between Rupees 15 to 20 lakhs after your fight for 3 to 5 years if your husband refuse to pay.

There are certain rulings to suggest the quantum of maintenance but there are no rulings on alimony and it actually depends on what both the partners decide and agree for. What ever you need and if he is ready to pay then its fine.

A.Dear Client,

If the alimony is being paid on a monthly basis, the Supreme Court of India has set 25% of the husband's net monthly salary as the benchmark amount that should be granted to the wife. There is no such benchmark for one-time settlement, but usually, the amount ranges between 1/5th to 1/3rd of the husband's net worth.
