Alimony from wife

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 06 November 2011 This query is : Resolved
I am 40 years of age staying in a flat owned by my parents. I am staying with my parents, wife and son. I am suffering from paralysis of both the legs. Due to this I find very difficult to work and earn and I keep on leaving jobs and remain jobless for months. Currently I am earning around Rs10000/- pm. I do not know how long I can do this job.My wife is also earning around 7000/- pm. My wife wants divorce from me. Looking at my low earning potential and at times jobless for months together and paralytic condition, do I have to pay alimony to my wife after divorce. Looking at my paralytic condin and low earning potential can I request the court to grant alimony to me from my wife? Please advise.

In the circumstances You both may mutually file the divorce petition and can exonerate each other from burden of alimony.

In case of a contested petition,may be court does not allow her any alimony to be paid by you to her as she has a regular income of 7k
while you have irregular income of 10k and you are ill also,but i hardly believe that court will allow any alimony in your favor.

The court may not grant any alimony in this case if the case is contested.

However for MCD things would depend on your mutial understanding
