Hello

The trial judges in the lower court do not understand the broader picture and generally proceed mechanically without taking any consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case. File a revision application in the hc against this order and you will get relief.

1. The home loan if taken after your marriage can not be taken into consideration by court.

2. So your gross pay Income tax deductions alone will be considered.

3. The quantum of maintenance in such case would be around 1/4th fo your income.

4; Id if your gross pay is more than Rs.60,000/- pm , preferring an appeal is not likely to get any benefit.

5. The Revision lies in high court.

You need to approach high court against the order of family courts award of maintenance. Since you provided pay slip court awarded 1/3 of your salary as maintenance. Firstly you shouldn't have provided pay slip and should have made them to prove that you are earning so much. Approaching.high court may help to reduce the quantum of maintenance. It must be done within 90 days from date of order

A change in the maintenance is usually called a 'variation'. A variation can be an increase or decrease in the amount. The party bringing the application for avariation must be able to show the court that there has been sufficient change in financial circumstances to warrant a change.

If there is an attachment of earnings order in place it will be necessary to apply to vary the attachment of earnings order if the amount of maintenance is changed.

You can challenge the order in the Sessions Court, it cannot directly be challenged in the High Court. You have to show that your liabilities were not properly considered by the court below. Stay is the discretion of the High Court.

Yes you can definitely file an appeal.

Though please consider the fact that payment towards the home loan is usually considered to be investment by the court and not expenditure.

If she is an educated woman then you may take the ground that she has the capacity to earn. Also, you may take the ground that you are taking care of the children also.

Hi

The order granting maintenance is issued by MM courts under Section 125 Cr.P.C and you need to file a criminal revision petition (please note it is not an appeal) against the Interim maintenance order of the court and Only High court has the jurisdiction to hear the Criminal Revision petition.

Also when your father has given accomodation and also that you are paying for the childrens school education, the maintenance of Rs15000-/-(that too when the remainder of your salary is Rs12000-/-) shows non application of mind by the sub court.

You should file a Criminal revision petition u/s 397 Cr.P.C , should you wish to challenge the interim order.

Hope this information is useful

You can prefer a revision against the orders for interim maintenance or prefer an appeal against the judgment of main case.

You can produce documentary evidence of your salary and the loan repayment details.
