Can maintenance order be modified?
If a wife files a petition in court stating that she has no source of income but later finds that she is earning a good amount of salary, what actions can be taken by the husband?
Yes, a maintenance order can be modified if there is a change in circumstances. The husband can file a petition in court to reduce or cancel the maintenance by proving that the wife is now earning well. He must provide evidence of her income, such as salary slips or bank statements. If the court is satisfied, it may modify or revoke the maintenance order accordingly.
If the wife falsely claimed no income but now earns well, the husband can file for modification of maintenance. The court may reduce or stop maintenance if she is financially independent. The husband must provide proof of her income, like salary slips or bank statements. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
