You and your two children may be entitled to claim financial maintenance from your husband, notwithstanding his failure to provide adequate support despite having sufficient financial resources. Depending on the facts, you may seek maintenance under Section 144 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, and appropriate relief under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, including monetary relief and, where applicable, compensation for economic abuse. Preserve evidence of his income, expenditure, financial capacity, your household expenses, children’s educational costs, and any threats or harassment. Your own employment does not automatically disentitle you to maintenance; the court will assess your actual income, reasonable needs, and his capacity to contribute. Consult an advocate to initiate appropriate proceedings and seek interim maintenance for you and your children.
