My wife and her family are pressuring me and my family, and I want to get a divorce. Could you please explain the process in India? How much maintenance should I pay monthly for our 4 children? How old do they need to be to live with me? How long do I need to pay maintenance to my wife? What happens if she remarries?

In India, divorce proceedings involve filing a petition in a family court, proving grounds for divorce, and obtaining a decree. Maintenance for children is determined by the court based on factors like their age, needs, and your income. Children can live with you based on their age, their well-being, and the court’s decision. Maintenance payments typically continue until the children reach adulthood or become self-supporting. If your wife remarries, maintenance payments may be reviewed or terminated by the court.
