Why can ex-wife claim maintenance after mutual divorce settlement?
My wife and I took mutual consent divorce, and a full and final settlement of ₹22 lakhs was made. A condition was included that she would not file any further cases or claim maintenance. She is highly qualified, and we have no children. Can she still file a maintenance case against me?

If your divorce terms clearly say that no future claims or maintenance can be asked, and it was signed voluntarily, she usually cannot claim again. But in rare situations like fraud or coercion, she might try. Be ready to defend with your signed agreement. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number
