Wife maintenance

Recommended ways to proceed----

1)File a strong reply to the the modification petition---Demand strict proof of illness .Request the court to order a medical evalution if his claim seems exaggerated .Emphasize that your children's school expenses food, and clothing needs have increased,not decreased ,over the last two years.

2)Reject or counter -negotiate the Rs/- 15 lakh Offer-- Do not rush into accepting this amount out of fear that the monthly maintenance will be stopped.If you prefer a one-time settlement to cut ties cleanly ,your counter offer should be significantly higher.

3)Child Maintenance is Separate---Remember that even you waive your right to alimony ,your minor children's right to maintenance can not be absolutely signed away by a contract.However, it is much safer to secure a proper amount right now.
