Securing Fair Financial Rights in Jammu Courts

In matrimonial disputes, sudden financial abandonment can plunge dependent spouses and children into acute distress. Indian law establishes robust statutory safeguards to ensure that wives, children, and elderly parents receive monthly maintenance and fair financial settlements in accordance with the respondent's true earning capacity and lifestyle.

At Advocate Anisha Puri Dogra & Associates, we handle maintenance claims under Section 125 CrPC / BNSS, Section 24 (Interim) and Section 25 (Permanent) of the Hindu Marriage Act, and Section 20 of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (PWDVA).

  • Sudden Denial of Financial Support: Spouse has stopped contributing to living expenses, children’s school fees, or rent.
  • Concealment of Income / Assets: False income declarations submitted to evade legitimate maintenance.
  • Interim Maintenance Urgency: Seeking urgent interim living relief during prolonged divorce proceedings.
  • Execution of Arrears: Enforcing outstanding arrears through salary attachment or recovery warrants in Jammu Family Courts.

Maintenance & Alimony FAQs

Yes. If the wife’s income is insufficient to maintain the standard of living she enjoyed during the marriage, courts award proportionate maintenance. In addition, the father is always legally bound to pay for the children's maintenance regardless of the mother's employment.
If the respondent defaults, we file execution petitions under Section 125(3) CrPC. The Family Court in Jammu can issue arrest warrants, order attachment of salary, or seize bank assets.
