Dear Client,

RCR may be decline if any proof of his adultery is available and also on other grounds. Neither RCR awarded in casual manner.

By filling an application in the court, all records regarding job and income statement, tax return can be summoned, so no big deal.

Even few High Courts have now made it mandatory to file affidavit regarding income.

Are u earning ? your qualification ?

Well, 15 to 25 % expected as u r not bearing maintenance towards child otherwise it could have around 30 to 40 %.

1.Well, if you mention his income is more than one lakh in the maintenance petition then burden of proof lie on him to disprove this amount.So effectively then he will have to declare his actual income.

So you need not file any documentary evidence.

2.Yes, court can direct himt submit document.If he refuses to do so then the court can take adver presumption and would treat your quotation as true.

3.You can expect 1/4th of his income.

1. How do you know that his monthly income is Rs. 1.1 lakhs? Is he employed or in business? If you have no such document to prove his income, you can state that he has the said income indicating through which source he earns the said amount per month.

2. Court will certainly ask him to submit his income proof which might be salary slip for last three years or income statements from his employer, if he is employed or his IT Return copies and balance sheet if he is in business. It will be beneficial for you if you can specify, preferably with with evidence, his income and the source of income.

3. Awarding of maintenance amount is with the discretion of the Court and ordinarily it is anywhere in between 1/3rd to 1/4th of husband's net monthly earnings after deducting I.Tax, P.F (if he is employed), mandatory medical expenses for parental chronic deceases etc.

Not his parent but he is responsible for the son.

In case he have relationship then you may file adultery as he filed 9 RCR to you which you don't follow at least.

The maintenance under section 125 CRPC will be allowed and if he doesn't submit the actual income it may be asked by the court directly from the employer.

The maintenance is dependent on social and economic background of the parties. You may expect 25 to 35%

2.) Yes court can order to him for submit document related to his income. He has to file his income affidavit, if he found in giving the false affidavit then he can be liable for cheating, forged documents.

Yes he can not abscond from maintenance to his child and parents he will have to pay maintenance however his parents will have to file a separate Crpc 125 application to claim maintenance.

Dear Madam,

My answers are as follows:

1. His income is 1.1 lakh pm but i dont have any documentary evidence. so how i can prove his income ?

Ans: You can bring secondary evidence like affidavits of co-workers of your husband etc., which will be guided by your advocate.

2. can court order to him for submit document related to his income .

Ans: On your application Court may direct his employer to submit salary details of your husband or you may examine the employer of your husband as your witness.

3. He have responsibility of our son and his parents also . after that how much maintenance i can expect ?

Ans: As per recent Supreme Court decision you are entitled for 25% of salary of your husband.

The Supreme Court directed a West Bengal resident earning a salary of Rs 95,527 to pay monthly alimony of Rs 20,000 to his ex-wife and 18-year-old son. The couple has been battling it out in court over maintenance since 2003 when the district judge fixed the amount at Rs 4,500. The high court later awarded maintenance at Rs 16,000 per month in 2015 and increased it to Rs 23,000 in 2016 as the husband's salary went up from Rs 63,842 to Rs 95,527.

The man had argued that since his ex-wife was a trained beautician and Montessori teacher earning Rs 30,000 while their son was now an 18-year-old, the alimony amount should be reduced. The ex-wife argued that additional money was required to support the higher education of their son.
