Being a working women you are cannot claim maintenance. But you can seek maintenance for your children education and livelihood. If he does not go to work and living seperately by the income received from the immovable properties then you may file a maintenance petition to pay the maintenance from the income araised from properties.

Hello,

You have all the rights to claim maintenance from your husband though you are working. If you have kid then you can seek maintenance from husband from your husband for you as well to your kid.

You can definitely file for maintenance for your children. You cannot claim for maintenance for yourself. You can tell in the petition that he is doing business or that he is getting rental income. Your husband will have to prove why he is not working and how he is able to maintain himself. Do you want to divorce him? Have you decided what you want to do in the future? You can contact me for a detailed discussion so that I can give a clear and proper guidance.
