There is no fixed formula can be laid for fixing the amount of maintenance. It has to be in the nature of things which depend on various facts and circumstances of each case. The court has to consider the status of the parties,their respective needs, the capacity of the husband to pay, having regard to reasonable expenses for his own maintenance and others whom he is obliged to maintain under the law and statute.

While calculating the maintenance.

1. Total monthly Income of both Husband as well as Wife.

2. Number of children’s

3. Number of years of marriage.

4. In case of the Income of wife is 50 % of Husband's salary then she do not get maintenance.

5. In case if she has to take care of her child also then in such cas maintenance amount would be more.

6. If the wife is well qualified and well settled then percentage of maintenance would be less but yes now a day maximum cases goes in favour of wife only.

7. Or else if you do not want to share your salary and property then you convince your wife for a permanent alimony in which whatever she will demand you have to pay her in one attempt then she will not be able to claim for any other thing in future. But all this you do it as per the court procedure to avoid in future problem.

8. As regard to distribution of you salary between three wives, I would like to inform you that yes you have to pay all three wives maintenance but again I will repeat the point no. to 4 again.

9. One important point while divorce neither Wife nor the Husband can claim property of someone else.

10. A wife can claim the property which is earned by her Husband.

11. Yes man can get a benefit of this law, I\in statue it clearly mentioned that either of the parties can claim maintenance, that is either Husband or Wife, even you can claim maintenance from your wife if you may able to prove that you do not have earning source and your wife has earning sources and she has also acquired a properties in her Name.

Hi sir, I can understand point of your query. If your wife more than 2 years separated from her matrimonial house (you and your house) and residing outside from your house i.e., her parents house and etc.,. Before filing the divorce case you have to issued a legal notice you should mentioned 3 years separated and no communication till date and her harassment on you by mentally and physically and narrated all her attitude in respect of you and your family And after issuance of legal notice you have to file divorce case on the ground of desertion. In regard to Maintenance it will depend upon source of income of you. Your wife cannot file DV Act case and u/s498A IPC case against you, if file these cases are not maintainable it will be dismissed. You don't worry go ahead.

You cannot keep waiting for her to return to the matrimonial fold and it is a waste exercise because you already have bitter experiences while living together. Moreover three years waiting without any ray of hopes for the continuation of a happy married life in future as as good as searching for a address which is not there.

If she is very adamant to not to cooperate, then the option before you is to abandon the marriage by filing a petition to dissolve the same by a decree of divorce on the grounds of cruelty and desertion.

If she is provoked over the legal action taken by you and is resorting to avenge you by filing false dowry harassment and domestic violence cases, you can challenge the same by first obtaining anticipatory bail.

The jurisdiction for filing he divorce case will be at the place of marriage or the place where both last resided or the present place of the wife's residence.

Hi sir, you do not worry about her connections to anybody you have to establish her harassment physical and mental cruelty on you and on your family parents in the divorce case. I do not know about the lawyer but he may be do well. Few years back get the divorce without informing that is exparte order against the wife. The Hon'ble Court may be pleased to issued a summons to wife/Respondent and the summons was duly served on her and if not come before the court and contest matter at that time the Hon'ble Court may be hearing the case in absence of her and based on the pleadings and documents the Hon'ble court may be pleased to pass an order of exparte against the wife/Respondent. It is the procedure of the court.

It is not possible to get divorce without her knowledge because she is the other party to the marriage so anything done that way isnot nothing but a cheating and fraudulent act.

Your known person might have played fraud on his wife to get the divorce decree without her knowledge but he will face problem legally when the facts emerge one day.

If she is politically influential,you should first obtain anticipatory bail if the police is summoning you for inquiry and then challenge her case in the court.

About engaging an advocate will be your own choice.

1) after recent SC judgement in 498A case obtaining anticipatory bail has become easier

2) you can contact any of the lawyers on this website from delhi for guidance in case you want to change your lawyer

3) to obtain divorce copy of petition has to be served upon wife . If she does not attend or engage any lawyer court may grant you exparte decree
