What are the criteria to determine alimony
11-Sep-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I got separated from my nri(USA) husband 3yrs ago as I couldn't bear his harassment and so I returned to my parents in India how much alimony can I claim ?
In recent judgement the Supreme Court sets Alimony benchmark as 25 percent of husband's net salary.How ever it varies case to case. It is applicable if you are not working and have no other source of income to lead the life.
Madam,
The court will take into consideration your husband's income , your life style, whether you are working or not, your as well as your husband's behavior during court proceedings, your age, period of marriage, child's (if any) educational and basic needs and liabilities of your husband while deciding the quantum of alimony.

HI
Generally alimony is granted only if the grounds of divorce are cruelty, harassment, adultery etc by husband.
Alimony is again decided based on number of years of marriage and age of person seeking divorce.
In general, if you are pleading harassment, in all likelihood you can claim up to 36 times of your husband's monthly net income as alimony.
