issing a court-ordered maintenance payment can lead to serious legal consequences, including contempt of court, imposition of penalties, or even execution proceedings. However, because your salary has changed or financial circumstances have made it burdensome—paying ₹7,000 out of a ₹15,000 salary is disproportionate—you have legal remedies available. Under Section 125(5) or relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), an application for alteration or reduction of maintenance can be filed on the grounds of a change in circumstances or financial hardship. Let's discuss your case in detail to file an immediate modification application and protect you from default issues.
