My wife and I got a divorce by mutual consent in the family court. As part of the settlement, I paid a lump sum of 9 lakhs, which also resolved any issues related to domestic violence. We both agreed not to file any further cases against each other. However, she has now filed a maintenance case. What can I do to win this case and ensure she doesn’t receive maintenance? I need your guidance on how to proceed.

Based on the information provided, the fact that you both agreed not to file any further cases against each other, including maintenance, could be a strong argument in your defense. However, Indian law allows a wife to file a maintenance claim even after a divorce settlement, especially if she can prove financial need. Consulting a lawyer is crucial to understand the specifics of your case and explore all legal options available to you.
