Alimony

Alimony or maintenance can provide financial support to a spouse during or after the breakdown of a marriage, but it is not determined by a fixed formula in every case. Indian courts consider factors such as the income and assets of both spouses, reasonable needs, standard of living, duration of marriage, dependants, liabilities, and other relevant circumstances. Maintenance may be interim or permanent, and the amount can vary significantly depending on the applicable matrimonial law and facts of the case.
