Can Ex wife's children of my husband claim on properties now?


13-Sep-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My husband is Muslim and married under special marriage act with his Ex wife (Hindu). They got divorced and have 3 kids. He's paying heavy maintenance monthly , education and health expenses and have transferred properties to her as well as settlement process. His Ex-wife is well earning lady. Her monthly income (salary + additional income) would be almost 60% of my husband's salary. We got married under special marriage act recently as i am Hindu too. My questions are- 1. Can she or her kids claim on my husband's existing properties as well as future properties. 2. In future, how can we reduce the monthly maintenance as one kid is going to college now and they expenses are separately borne by him and very soon other will start going to hotel and college and her expenses will be paid by him only. The clarity in answers will help me to appoint my legal family advisor. Regards

Dear Madam,

In matters of divorce and maintenance the amount is decided on the basis of the income, expenses and life style of the parties.
The order of maintenance is granted to the children in case where the child is a girl it the marriage of the girl and in case of the boy till the age of majority.
As far as the divorced wife is concerned the maintenance is for her on the basis of the earning capacity and dependence.
To reduce the maintenance the court must consider all factors including the salary of the husband.
We recommend that you book an appointment and visit us for details and discuss the matter.
