My name is Pooja and I have a question about my aunt. She got divorced in 2005 and was awarded an alimony of ₹1,500 per month. This amount is insufficient today. What can we do to refile for a higher alimony?

Under Indian law, you can’t refile for a higher alimony if the original order was passed by a competent court. However, your aunt can approach the same court that passed the original order and petition for a modification of the alimony amount based on changed circumstances, like a significant increase in the cost of living.
