A father  is liable to maintain his child till the age of majority. His liability is absolute, it cannot be shared by mother. Income of mother is irrelevant for determination of maintenance towards a minor child. That is the law. Question of income of wife arises only if the maintenance is claimed by wife.

The court can request the private institution where the wife works to provide her employment, service records, and pay slips. The husband can file an application in court to request this information.

 

Yes, the wife is required to file her assets and liabilities in a case under Section 125 of the CrPC. The court can compel her to do so if she fails to file them voluntarily.

 

The observation of the court that the wife has concealed facts of her employment and assets can be used as evidence in the main petition of CrPC 125. It can be argued that the wife has deliberately concealed her income to claim higher maintenance.

 

The responsibility of both parents for the maintenance of the child is determined based on their income and financial status. If both parents are working, the court may consider their respective incomes and expenses to decide on the maintenance amount for the child. The ratio for the child may vary based on the financial status of the parents and other relevant factors.

- If wife has not filed the details of her job, then husband can move an application before the court for directing her to produce the evidence before the court.

- Further, if she has given false information after concealing her income, then husband can move an application under section 340 CRPC in the same court for lodging an FIR against her. 

- Further, if she is working then the husband & wife i.e., both are under obligation to pay the maintenance to the minor, and in proportion to the income.

If the wife is also employed and earning a handsome income then she is also liable to bear the cost towards educational expenses of the child equally.

She also need to file the affidavit declaring the assets and liabilities.

In 125 cr..p.c a petition can be filed under section 91 cr.p.c.

If it is a civil matter then section 151CPC can be invoked.

Dear client,  

In a matrimonial dispute, the court may ask for the details of the assets and liabilities of both parties to determine the interim maintenance to be awarded. The court may consider the income of both parties and the expenses of the child to decide the share of the husband and wife in the educational expenses.

In terms of obtaining employment details of the wife, the CrPC 91 application may not be directly applicable in a matrimonial case. However, you can file an application under Order 11 Rule 12 of the CPC seeking the relevant documents and information from the wife regarding her employment details.

Additionally, if the wife has been changing the school of the child without the father's notice or consent, you may file a petition seeking joint custody of the child or seeking an order that the wife cannot change the school of the child without the father's consent.

It is advisable to consult with a local lawyer who can guide you on the specific legal provisions and procedures applicable to your
