Am I liable to pay her the claimed amount as per her current location B or her location paternal location A where she originally filed the maintenance case? 2. Tomorrow if she moves to some other city with more high standards/abroad and demands more amount , am I liable to pay her ? 3.Please provide any case laws links w.r.t my above scenario.Also kindly provide your opinion.
