Can a separated woman, whose case of 13a or 13(1) already in court, if found working on papers or not on papers, or her husband says she works from howsoever, will her alimony be then be stopped? This implies if she doesn't get sufficient money DV maintainence for her three kids and herself, living with her, shd should not work to get some more earnings. Will her monthly maintenance be stopped, She never worked regular vn with husband. Husband says in court shd earns handsomely but has no documentaRy evidence. Then can she not do any work from home either because her alimony will be stopped, what if it is not sufficient. A case for revision is there but jdgmnt will come in yrs.

The question whether a working wife is eligible for alimony depends from case to case since there are different opinions of high courts on this issue. But in your case since the three children are living with her then you are liable to give her alimony for the upbringing of your children irrespective of the fact that she is earning. But if you still want to apply for reduction of alimony, you can prove you have your old parents( show their medical bills or reports) brother/ sister etc to maintain. You can also furnish your wife's ITR, Bank statements, if u want to prove her income...a good lawyer can help you in procuring these documents.
