Answer #3

Dear Madam, You can claim 25% for yourself and 15% for your child of the salary of your husband if you are unemployed. Otherwise you won't get any maintenance further you have to bear 50% of maintenance of child and 50% is to be reimbursed by your husband. But, there is no scientific formula to quantify maintenance to the child. It is always at the discretion of the court.
