If the opposite party fails to pay court-ordered maintenance, you can file an Execution Petition under Section 125(3) CrPC or relevant provision, depending on your case. The court can issue a warrant, attach property, or even order imprisonment. Generally, the process can begin immediately after default, but enforcement timelines may vary depending on the court's schedule and cooperation of the parties.

File an Execution petition in the same court that passed the maintenance order.
The court can also issue a warrant to attach the property or salary of the defaulter.
If payment is still not made, the court may issue arrest warrant and order civil imprisonment for up to one month for each month of default.
Also
File a petition for contempt under contempt of courts Act, 1971.

If husband is not giving maintenance amount even after interim maintenance order is passed, then you will have to file an application for distress warrant against the husband. once the distress warrant is issued, the police will arrest the husband and produce him before the court. Husband will have to pay some amount then atleast.
in case you require any further legal assistance you may contact me.

If the maintenance amount is not paid after the court’s order, you can file an execution petition under Section 125(3) CrPC or under the relevant act in your case. The court can enforce the order by issuing a warrant, attachment of property, or even civil imprisonment for non-compliance. The time taken depends on the court’s schedule, but once filed, the process can move fairly quickly if the documents are in order. Timely legal action ensures stronger enforcement of your rights.
