During the process of dissolving your marriage, the court may order you to pay alimony payments after the divorce is final. Payments are not required during the separation period. The requirement to make alimony payments may be either temporary or permanent, depending on the circumstances. Once a divorce is final, however, a court will only alter or change an alimony decree if the circumstances of the parties change. They will not create a new alimony agreement after a divorce is final where no alimony agreement exists.

If your divorce petition contains that you have no claim from your husband and all matters are settled then it is difficult to get alimony. You may make an attempt to get alimony as maintenance stating penury grounds as well as inability to sustainable yourself. It may or may not stand but you can give it a shot. In respect of the loan you can ask your mother to ask the same from him but there is very little chance of him giving it

The definition of wife under section 125CrP. C includes divorced wife . So, as per the provision of maintenance law you safely can file a petition for maintenance from your ex-husband. The quantum of maintenance would be decided by the court after taking evidence.
