My husband filed for divorce in December 2013 and I’m fighting it. We’ve been married for 7 years and have a 3-year-old son. He’s been living in the US for over two years, while I work from home because our son is still young. He’s never contributed financially to me or our son. I’m considering filing for child support and alimony. He earns over $7,000 USD monthly, and my salary is around INR 35,000 per month. What amount can I request for my son and myself? Is there a formula to calculate this?

In India, child support and alimony are determined based on the husband’s income, your needs, and the child’s needs. There’s no fixed formula. Courts consider factors like your earning capacity, your husband’s earning capacity, your standard of living during the marriage, and the child’s age and educational needs. You can seek legal advice to understand the specific amount you can request based on your individual circumstances.
