No she cannot but then that will depend on the conditions on thwle basis of which the settlement has been arrived and without there being such a term she cannot come forward and say she wants maintenance.

Hi, it depends on the agreement made in divorce petition. If the amount paid is full and final, you need not worry. If the same is not there, she may file for maintenance. It's not clear from your query. Thanks
