Who Can Claim Maintenance?

Our laws provide robust protection for dependents who are unable to maintain themselves. The following categories can claim support:

Wife: A wife unable to maintain herself can claim maintenance from her husband, even if living separately due to valid reasons.

Children: Minor children (legitimate or illegitimate) are entitled to maintenance. Daughters (until marriage) and disabled children (lifetime) can also claim.

Parents: Elderly or infirm parents who cannot support themselves can claim maintenance from their adult children.

Why Start with a Legal Notice?

Before jumping into a long court battle, a legal notice often yields faster results:

Immediate Pressure: A formal legal notice signals serious intent and often prompts the defaulter to start paying.

Proof of Neglect: If the matter goes to court, the notice serves as documentary evidence that you demanded support and were refused.

Cost-Effective: It is far cheaper and faster than a full-blown court case, with many disputes settling at this stage.

Key Legal Provisions

Maintenance can be claimed under various acts depending on your situation:

Section 125 CrPC: The primary secular law providing a quick remedy for wives, children, and parents of all religions.

Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956: Section 18 for Hindu wives, and Section 20 for children and aged parents.

Domestic Violence Act, 2005: Empowers courts to grant monetary relief to meet expenses and compensates for losses.

Stop requesting and start claiming. Your financial dignity is protected by law.

Secured Monthly Support of₹45,000

Meera (name changed) was abandoned by her husband with a 4-year-old child. He stopped sending money, claiming he had 'no savings'. Desperate, she contacted vakiltech. We drafted a stern legal notice under Section 125 CrPC, detailing his lifestyle and actual income sources. Fearing a court summons and potential wage garnishment, he agreed to a settlement within 20 days. Meera now receives ₹45,000/month regularly without ever stepping into a court.
