My husband, a trainee officer at SBI bank, is planning to leave me and move to another city. He earns around ₹40,000 per month, while I earn about ₹45,000 and have savings of ₹7.5 lakhs. He has refused to pay rent for this month. We’ve been married for four years and have a three-year-old child. Can I get maintenance for myself and our child? How much and what are the legal steps involved?

Yes, you can file for maintenance under Section 125 of the CrPC for yourself and your child. The court will consider your husband’s income, your earnings, and your child’s needs while determining the amount. You should consult a lawyer to file a maintenance petition and follow the legal procedures for getting maintenance.
