Service Overview

Everything you need to know about this service

Maintenance and alimony cases arise when a spouse, child, or dependent family member seeks financial support from the person who has a legal obligation to provide for them. These cases are commonly filed during or after divorce proceedings, separation, or marital disputes.
The objective of maintenance laws is to ensure that a dependent spouse or child is not left without financial support. Courts determine maintenance based on various factors such as the income and financial capacity of the parties, the standard of living during the marriage, and the needs of the dependent spouse or children.
In India, maintenance claims may be filed under provisions of the Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, as well as relevant personal laws depending on the religion of the parties. Such matters are generally handled by Family Courts in India, and appeals may be heard by the High Courts of India or the Supreme Court of India when required.
Our legal team provides professional assistance in filing and defending maintenance and alimony claims. We guide clients through the legal process, prepare strong petitions, and ensure effective representation before the court to secure fair financial support.
