yes, u/s 125 Cr.p.c. you can claim maintenance even after divorce.But if the wife has to give genuine reason as to why she is claiming maintenance after getting divorce. Or there should be change in circumstances, e.g. earlier she was earning and at the time of claiming maintenance she is unable to earn, have give reason with proofs

Dear Querist,
I write in response to your query. There is no legal bar in seeking maintainance post divorce. But I suggest you to refer to the terms of your divorce for further legal opinion. You may contact me for further query.
