Not paying maintenance

(Querist) 16 August 2017 This query is : Resolved 
My wife filed maintenance case, 498A,DVC, conjugal rights, property share related case against me. The court ordered me to pay maintenance15000( 3petinoers , 3�5=15000) by 10th of every month . I filed a case in district court to decrease the maintenance. My wife also filed a case in district court to enchance the maintenance. The lower court ordered me to pay maintenance arrears 105000 by 30th august. I am a government employee. I am not in a position to pay 105000 . If I didn't pay maintenance, what happens?. How many days imprisonment for not paying maintenance arrears?As i am a government employee, what about my government job? I lost my job or not? My lawyer said that if I was imprisoned then maintenance arrears dismissed and no problem for government job as it is crp case not IPC case. Is it true?? Give me suggestions for me to face the situation.

It is better to arrange for the amount and pay.

It is doubtful your government job would be protected if you are sent to jail.

Whether your service conditions have specifically excluded such jail time /term spent for not taking departmental action?

Government employees are supposed to maintain high degree of moral, integrity and not paying as per court orders and hence spending time in jail may not gain support in terms of service conditions.

Court, on the request of wife, may order your employer to recover the amount from your pay and deposit in court to pay as maintenance.

There is the option that the your salary could be attached towards payment of maintenance.
