Maintenance and alimony basics (India)
Plain-language overview of maintenance and alimony questions people ask after marriage disputes — educational only. Amounts and outcomes are never guaranteed.
WhatsApp opens with your question already written. You just tap send.
What people usually ask
Interim or final maintenance, alimony after divorce, children’s expenses, and enforcement of orders. Personal law, statutes, and facts (income, needs, children) all matter. Internet calculators are not reliable legal answers.
Papers that often help
Marriage proof, children’s birth details if any, income proofs (salary slips, ITRs, bank statements), prior petitions or orders, and a short timeline of separation or dispute. Keep copies; do not alter documents.

Write in Hindi or English · general guidance, not legal advice
Safety first
If there is domestic violence or immediate danger, contact local emergency services or a protection officer. This website is not a crisis hotline.
Honest limits
Adhiwakta cannot file maintenance petitions for you or promise any amount. Facilitation for general guidance only — not a law firm and not a lawyer marketplace.
Ask for general guidance
Submit under Family on Ask with your timeline and papers list. Formal court work needs an advocate you personally engage after verifying Bar Council enrolment.
