Alimony and maintenance matters can feel overwhelming, especially when one spouse is living abroad or earning foreign income. We support NRI clients by preparing the complete documentation set, organising financial material, managing case strategy, and handling the full court process in India. Whether you are seeking maintenance or defending against a claim, our role is to present your situation clearly so the court can make a fair and well-informed decision.
How We Help You With Alimony / Maintenance Claims
- Understanding Your Financial Position: We begin by gathering details about your income, expenses, assets, liabilities, and overall lifestyle. If you are living abroad, we also take into account foreign earnings, cost-of-living differences, and currency factors. This gives us a complete picture to build a strong and realistic case for you.
- Preparing the Main Application or Reply: Based on your goals, we draft a clear, well-structured filing, whether you are requesting financial support or responding to a claim from your spouse. Each document presents your financial story in a clean and credible format that is ready for submission in court.
- Organising Income and Lifestyle Evidence: Maintenance decisions depend heavily on proof. We help you compile salary records, bank statements, tax filings, employment details, rent and utility expenses, loan documents, and lifestyle evidence. Everything is organised into a neat evidence file so the court can easily understand your financial reality.
- NRI-Specific Attestation and Documentation Support: If you live outside India, some documents may need notarisation, apostille, or embassy attestation. We guide you step-by-step and prepare the exact formats required. If you cannot appear personally, we help you execute a Power of Attorney so your case continues smoothly.
- Court Filing, Hearings, and Representation: Because we are licensed advocates in India, we handle all appearances, filings, and arguments on your behalf. We present your financial position clearly, challenge inflated claims or false allegations, and keep you updated on each hearing, making the process easy for NRIs who cannot travel frequently.
- Modification, Enforcement, and Post-Order Support: If the maintenance amount needs to be revised due to a change in circumstances, we prepare the necessary applications. If the opposite party fails to pay, we help initiate enforcement. We also guide you on compliance and documentation once the order is passed.
