Hi If the MOU is signed and the statement of parties in the first motion of mutual divorce is done, the wife can't claim more maintenance, as barred by the recent landmark judgement of Delhi High Court namely Rajat v. Rupali. You may consult me in that regard.

Once a mutual divorce and settlement have been finalized and accepted by both parties, the ex-wife generally cannot claim additional maintenance or alimony. However, there can be exceptions if there are significant changes in circumstances, such as a substantial change in the financial status of either party. In such cases, it might be possible to revisit the settlement, but this would typically require legal intervention and a court's approval.

No if a settlement has been reached, and the parties have obtained a mutual divorce then the ex-wife cannot take more money as maintenance for herself, but if she has custody of the child, she can claim the money for the child in some conditions.
