The basis of the claim for interim maintenance is that the claimant has no independent income of his/her own to support himself/herself. If there is a spouse who is not independent financially than the other spouse should help him/her in order to make the living of the other person possible and independent. Providing maintenance means that the other person who is getting the maintenance should be able to live the life as he or she lived before marriage in case of divorce and in case where the two partners are not living together and they seek maintenance than the spouse getting maintenance should be able to live a life as when they lived together.

Kindly provide complete details of your case to know the remedy in proper way. However, please note that the non-working / housewife is eligible for getting maintenance from her husband even if she is staying at her parent's house.
