Discontinuity in payment of Special Child maintenance


16-Jul-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I am a single mother with a special child who is suffering from Multiple Disability and is non-verbal. I have filed a Child maintenance case in 2018 at the Barrackpore District Court for which only a very meagre amount of Rs 9000 was sanctioned as lesser salary was possibly shown before court by my child's father. It may be noted that I have asked maintenance only for my child who is disabled. He was giving the small amount of Rs 9000 but giving it with lot of discontinuity which is causing a lot of difficulty for me to cope up financially. I was doing a job long back which I am unable to continue as I need to look after my disabled child and carry out his therapy classes. I even had to cancel some of my child's therapy classes due to financial problems. I request the legal community to provide advice on whether this child maintenance amount can be increased atleast to Rs 20000 and ensure payment on a regular monthly basis for my disabled child's development.

for arrears of maintenance you need to file an money execution case against the judgment debtor. as far as maintenance amount enhancing is concerned you may file an application under section 127 and can also claim additional maintenance for you since now you are jobless.
