Can wife claim maintenance after mutual consent with no consideration


22-Dec-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi, I have filed divorce petition under HMA Section 13 B 1 (mutual consent). The terms and condition included is below: 6) That the parties to the petition have genuinely settled all their claims including past, present, and future maintenance/ alimony/ stridhan/ articles/ i.e. jewelry, etc. in full and final. The parties to the petition have no claims in any manner with respect to property/ money of the other party to the petition in future. That the petition has been filed by the mutual consent and mutual understanding between the parties i.e. Petitioner No.1 and Petitioner No.2. The petition is based on mutual consideration with free consent. That the petition is based on the free consideration i.e. no amount of money is required and has to be paid to any of the parties. Is its fool-proof that wife cannot claim for maintenance in future?

Dear Sir,
Your mutual consent petition before the Court for getting divorce will be fool proof in future. She cannot file any other case against you either for maintenance or Domestic Violence etc. Please see that some clauses are included restraining her from filing any type of case either civil or criminal after this mutual divorce.

Yes, if she was adequately represented and heard, it’s a legit document.

If she wants to claim anything out of it, she’d have to challenge that order on grounds appealing to her.

Would need more details to assist.
