child maintenance

Hello,

The Bombay High Court in the case of 2012 held that,

Once a woman has claimed permanent alimony as well as maintenance of her child from husband as a divorce settlement, she cannot claim more money for the welfare of the child.

"When a party chooses to keep the custody of the child and consents for full and final settlement in the interest of the child, that party must presume and see the consequences of the custody and apply for whatever amount that he or she needs to that end.”

So, the women cannot claim any kind of maintenance from the husband after permanent alimony.

Feel free to ask any further question,

Regards

No once decided finally n decree takes place on mutual consent, your wife cannot ask for maintenance,   But my suggestion is that you pl take out mediclaim cashless policy every year for your child n if possible for your wife.

If it is written in the mutual divorce petition that she has received full and final amount as one time settlement and forgoes all her and the child's right for maitenance than she cannot ask for maitnenance in future. Hence, divorce petition and copy of judgement needs to be seen before any final advice.
