125/3

law is such that she is entitled to interim maintenance anyway. rest is subject to proof and evidence. you can prove later that she is earning, but the golden advice is meet a lawyer and take proper legal help.....

Thanks for the help Mr Anmol. I will not be in a position to pay every month if i pay everything in one instalment does that mean it will be treated as divorce and i will not have to pay anyhting later on, which would mean it would be one time settlement.

Can i ask for a divorce since i am going to settle one time.

Thanks

As the provision u/s 125 puts a rider that only those women who can not maintain themselves or there is big gap in their status between them in the eent the wife earns herself the wife can not can not claim maintenance for herself. In your case if you could prove that she is indeed employed and sufficiently to maintain herself you are not liable to give maintenance though you may have to fork out a reasonable amount towards contributory maintentenance of the child.
