Maintenance u/s 125

jagjit (Querist) 24 June 2014 This query is : Resolved
SIR,
MY WIFE HAS FILED MAINTENANCE CASE u/s 125 AFTER DESERTING ME . IT WAS THE SECOND MARRIAGE FOR BOTH OF US WITH ONE ONE CHILD FROM PREVIOUS MARRIAGE.
UNDER PRESSURE I HAVE TO SIGNED THE ADOPTION OF HER DAUGHTER FROM PREVIOUS MARRIAGE. WHICH IS PENDING IN THE COURT FOR CANCELLATION.
IN HER MAINTENANCE CASE SHE IS THE ONLY SOLE APPLICANT NOT HER DAUGHTER UNDER HER GUARDIANSHIP. BUT COURT HAS ORDERED THE INTERIM MAINTENANCE FOR BOTH COATING THAT THE INTERIM MAINTENANCE FOR APPLICANT NO. 1 AND THE INTERIM MAINTENANCE FOR APPLICANT NO. 2. I HAVE FILED THE REVISION AGAINST THE INTERIM MAINTENANCE ORDER.
CAN I CLAIM THAT IN THE COMPLAINT CASE ONLY ONE APPLICANT IS THEIR NOT THE. AND IN THIS CASE HER DAUGHTER IS AUTHORIZED TO GET MAINTENANCE FROM ME OR NOT.

If the biological father of the daughter is alive then he alone is responsible for her maintenance, not you.

you have adopted the child . hence court will direct you to pay maintenance for the child too

Author, kindly confirm whether adoption took place without consent of biological father. If so then it is not valid.
