Unil the child gets major (18) if the child is physically and mentally fit. However if the child is not - it can seek maintenance even after attaining majority.

Till attaining the majority maintenance will have to be paid.

Thanks all for the responses.
If father takes the complete guardianship of child, will wife( mother of child) be asked to pay maintenance for child ?
MRRpersonality (Knows very little about Indian laws) 04 August 2012
The maintenance of the child has to be borne by both the parents in proportion to their earnings and abilities. If the child is with the father, and the father is unable to maintain the child and if the mother is working, she will have to bear some cost of the child maintenance.
