There are not specific rules but higher courts have laid down certain norms to be followed while deciding alimony as per the facts and circumstances of cases. Income of husband from all sources, dependant family members of husband, life style of wife in matrimonial home, education and earning capacity of wife, number of children etc. are some of the factor considered in deciding alimony.

With reference to the above statement, alimony is the right of the wife, if your wife is working then the working of alimony calculation is different where the more focus is given to your child, for that consult with the advocate as per your both income it is calculated

Alimony is calculated on the basis of earnings, qualifications, savings etc of both the parties. If your wife has alleged you for cruelty, then on the basis of the cruelty meted upon her she will ask for alimony. However, if you are not content with the alimony decreed by the judge, then you can always go for an appeal.
