For maintenance there are many choices:
1.Court fees less proceeding under section 125 of Cr.P.C;
2.Court fees less proceeding under Domestic
Violence Act;
3.On terms of paying court fees or suing as indigent under Hindu Adoption And Maintenance Act.
OPtion 1&2 are speedy but no arrears of past claim can be recovered.Option 3 allows recovery of past 3 years.If arrears or not sought,option of 1 or 2 or even both can be utilized.
