• Failure to follow interim maintenance order for by the respondent

Hi. I have filed a divorce case against my husband alongwith which had filed for a maintenance claim suit for my minor son. The Hon'ble court initially passed an interim order for Rs 25ooo pm in april 2016 which was reduced in lieu of revision petition filed by him(at same court) to Rs 20000 in sep 2016. Not only had he not paid the initial 25000 but now is refusing to pay the 20000 too. he had paid only Rs 30000 (10000*3) in total. his main claim is that since i am working we are not entitled to any maintenance. i have submitted all his income proofs in court. Kindly explain how i can get the order executed?? next hearing is in dec 2016. my advocate is of the view that if we do not agree to this amount he might again file revision petition in high court which will be a difficult situation for us.

1. You can apply for attachment of his salary if he does not make any payment.

2. Similarly the court can stay his defence if he does not make arrears payment of maintenance.

3. In final maintenance order the court can pass any order, whether more or less.

1. To get the order executed you go to file a petition for execution.

2. You too can move the HC against the order of sessions judge in the revision petition wherein he reduced it. A separate revision can be filed by you in sessions court to enhance the amount.

3. As and when your expenses grow you can apply to the court to increase the amount.

You should file an execution petition before the same court to execute the orders passed by court or file a petition to strike out defence since he has not obeyed the court order.

how will this interim order affect the final maintenance order and what can be done to make it in such a way that it will increase in proportion to his salary hike??

For increase in maintenance amount, you have to file an enhancement petition before the same court based on his salary hike.
