madam if you go for mutual consent divorce then when it is a mutual consent you have to settle the maintenance amount payable by your husband in getting divorce or you can go for permanent alimony where you get a lumpsum amount instead of monthly maintenance, hence if you are going for mutual consent then it is better you negotiate and settle and if he is not ready you can go for maintenance and also file divorce Petition. Further as per law even a divorced wife is entitled for maintenance.

You can claim for maintenance after divorce. If you go in for a mutual consent divorce ensure that you don,t waive your right inrespect of maintenance. Or alternatively you can make a mention of it in your petition for mutual consent rather than filing a separate petition for maintenance.

You can file a Petition for Divorce by Mutual Consent and enter into a settlement agreement with your husband for maintenance. However if he is refusing, then you have to file a regular divorce case and seek maintenance.
