Maintenance cases, which involve spousal and child support, are essential for ensuring that the dependent family members are adequately supported. This blog explores the process of navigating maintenance cases and how Advocate Prachi Goel & Associates can help secure fair financial support.
Understanding Maintenance Laws In India, maintenance laws are governed by various statutes, including the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956 and the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. These laws provide provisions for both interim and permanent maintenance.
Types of Maintenance
- Spousal Maintenance: Financial support provided to a spouse who is unable to sustain themselves.
- Child Maintenance: Financial support for the upbringing and welfare of children.
Filing for Maintenance To file for maintenance, the applicant must submit a petition detailing their financial needs and the respondent's ability to pay. The court considers various factors, such as the income, assets and liabilities of both parties, before deciding on the maintenance amount.
