kindly get ready to accept States hospitality. the law is very straight when it comes to maintaining your wife and children both legitimate and illegitimate and which is that every able bodied man is capable of maintaining their family and courts are deaf to any excuse whatsoever. the quantum may differ but no one can be allowed the rigours of payment of maintenance. if you are pennyless then the state legal authority will provide you with lawyer after you spend some time in custody. you can wait till that time and get a lawyer from the state. their competency is not above suspicious but then most free materialistic things are of that nature. having said that let me tell you the best way forward. hire a lawyer or appear in person before the magistrate. it is highly recommended that you hire a lawyer since the court understands a lawyer better than a in person accused who is unaware of the technicalities and other nuances of the law and the court. then try to make some payment and seek modification in the quantum of maintenance by citing changed circumstances.
