Interim maitenance in dv case & alimony in marriage petition

nilesh satelkar (Querist) 09 February 2023 This query is : Resolved
Respected experts,
My DV case is undergoing in session court. I've been ordered to pay interim maintenance which I am paying regularly. But there is also marriage petition filed by my wife. I am not attending hearings in marriage petition for quite a while.
My question is, if marriage petition case goes ex parte and I get order to pay alimony, will I have to pay both interim maintenance and alimony both at the same time
