Wifes rights in case of Mutual consent or contested divorce


06-Nov-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I have a question regarding Wife's rights in case of divorce as my cousin is going through a failed marriage. Husband is a salaried with gross income of 1 lakh per month and wife is a dentist but not doing a job or practice currently. She owns an apartment jointly with her mother. Also her parents are quite rich and having multiple properties. Whereas Husband owns an apartment jointly with his mother and there is home loan pending for same. Both are aged 35 and having 8 year old child. then in case of divorce: 1. Still Husband will need to pay monthly maintenance OR one time alimony ? and how much max in this scenario? 2. will wife have a claim in Husbands jointly owned apartment and also inherited land if any?

Dear queriest, as per your query if you are going to choose option for mutual divorce then there is part of consent terms to be filed with the petition wherein both the parties decide between themselves about the same. therefore it's up-to the parties, secondly there is no compulsion in mutual divorce to pay alimony.
