Time period to file claim for alimony

She is entitled for alimony for her life time or gets remarried, there is no limitation for filing a case for her maintenance even if a decree of divorce is granted.

Whether the question of alimony has not been considered and decided by the Family Court granting you a decree of divorce on the grounds of cruelty and desertion by wife, as stated by you ?

Thank you.

Please note that there was NO application/claim for Alimony or Maintenance made by ex during the entire divorce proceeding which has now been awarded to me on grounds of cruely and desertion (as per court , itdidnt get enough evidence from me for Adultery).

The ex-wife can seek maintainance, so long as she is not remarried, if she is unable to support herself.

She can claim during her life time 

or

she gets remarried

whichever is earlier.
