My husband wants a divorce because of something I did three years ago. He runs a DTDC franchise, and the house we live in is in his mother’s name. What maintenance can I claim? He’s also having an affair. What legal options do I have?

Under Indian law, you can seek alimony and maintenance based on your husband’s income and your needs. You may be entitled to a share of the house, despite it being in his mother’s name, if it was acquired during the marriage. His adultery can be used as grounds for divorce and may impact the amount of maintenance you receive.
