Maintenance Case in Chandigarh and Mohali

What the court examines

Maintenance depends on income, earning capacity, standard of living, liabilities, dependants, child expenses and the conduct of parties. The court may grant interim maintenance during the pendency of the case and final maintenance after evidence.

Documents that help

• Salary slips, ITRs, bank statements, business records and property details.
• School fee receipts, rent, medical expenses and household expenditure record.
• Marriage proof, child documents and prior court orders.
• Screenshots or documents showing lifestyle, income sources or concealment of income.

Interim maintenance

Interim maintenance is meant to provide support while the case is pending. It should be supported by a clear income and expense record. The responding party should also file a truthful financial disclosure and supporting documents.

Enforcement of maintenance orders

If maintenance is ordered but not paid, enforcement proceedings can be filed. Arrears, default history and payment proof should be maintained carefully.
