A.Dear Client,
The law requires either spouse to pay divorce alimony in India. In fact, alimony gives an estranged wife some consolation in monetary comfort. However, in most cases, it is the husband who has to pay financial support to his divorced wife. There is no set pattern or hard and fast principle for calculating the amount of alimony that the husband must pay to his wife. Alimony can be paid on a regular or monthly basis, or as a one-time compensation in the form of a lump sum. As regards the quantum of alimony in divorce cases, there is no setup rule for paying the one-time amount of alimony. However, the court can grant one-fifth or one-third of the husband's or wife's net worth as alimony. Under divorce alimony rules no lump-sum settlement benchmark exists. The Supreme Court of India, in one of its judgments, stated this 25% is the benchmark amount and is also just and proper. If alimony gets paid monthly, the Supreme Court of India has established a benchmark value of 25% of the husband's net monthly earnings to get awarded to the wife. There is no such benchmark for a one-time settlement/compensation, but usually, the amount ranges between 1/5th to 1/3rd of the husband's net worth. As regards child custody, if the child is below 5 years, the custody will naturally go to the mother as per the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act. Only in case, if the court feels that the mother is unfit to take care of the child, the custody will go to the father or another person. Reach out to an Advocate for further guidance and steps.
