hi alocious here I can well understand your concern from the query raised, whether you seek alimony or maintenance the court will be inclined to grant monthly maintenance for the child, in the event of convincing the judge alone the maintenance shall be not awarded as the father is duty bound to provide for the maintenance of the child, thank you

Since you waived your right in the mutual consent divorce, it is not possible. However since you said you are a single mother, you can file a petition. for maintenance on behalf of your child seeking maintenance for the child provided the child is Minor.
