Contract for husband to support maintainance

Dear Client,

Even if you and your husband are living under the same roof, you can still seek financial support for rent, food, school fees, medicines, and daily living expenses for yourself and your child if he is refusing to pay regularly. A written agreement can be prepared mentioning the monthly amount he will contribute, the date of payment, and the expenses he will cover, and although such an agreement may not be fully binding like a commercial contract, it can still be useful as evidence in future legal proceedings, including divorce or maintenance cases.

Financial neglect by a husband can amount to economic abuse, and the court can direct him to provide maintenance and household expenses. Since you are financially dependent on him and caring for your child, the court may consider his earning capacity even if he is not working regularly. You should keep records of rent, school fees, grocery bills, medical expenses, bank statements, and any messages showing that he is refusing to pay, as these can help protect your rights later
