I’m a Hindu woman, married in 2001, with two children. I filed a maintenance case against my husband under Section 125 in October 2016. My lawyer isn’t giving me clear answers, so I’m hoping you can help. My husband earns around ₹60,000 a month. How much maintenance can I expect to receive? Also, I’m living with him, so am I even eligible for maintenance? Finally, what steps could my husband take against me, since I don’t want a divorce?

Under Section 125 of the CrPC, you are eligible for maintenance even if you are living with your husband. The court will consider your husband’s income, your needs, and the children’s needs to determine the amount. Your husband may try to challenge the maintenance order by showing that you have sufficient means of your own, but you can present your case and argue for a fair amount.

I filed a domestic violence case in the Delhi Family Court a year ago. Just before the ex parte hearing, my ex-husband appeared and the case was saved. The issue is, when I filed the case, I was staying with relatives in Delhi and had paid rent for six months. I felt safe with my family then. Now, I’m living with my brother in Ghaziabad. My ex-husband has challenged the court’s jurisdiction claiming it shouldn’t be in Delhi as I’m not living there anymore. The judge, in the last hearing, said they’ll decide on the case’s maintainability in the next hearing. Maintenance for my child will be fixed then if I apply. My question is, can my case be dismissed just because I’m not living in Delhi? Should it be transferred to another court? I’ve been struggling for two years, my entire income goes towards legal fees and rent. My ex-husband earns six times more than me, but he hasn’t offered any financial help since our child was born. Please guide me.

My husband filed for divorce in 2014, citing grounds under Section 13(a) of the Hindu Marriage Act. We’re now in the final arguments stage. But I’ve just learned that he’s planning to remarry in a few weeks, without even finalizing the divorce. I’m unaware of the date, venue, or details. Can I do anything to stop him from marrying, and what legal options do I have at this point?

We had a love marriage, but things have gone wrong. I also put money towards our apartment, but it’s only in his name. I even gave him cash and jewelry during our marriage.
