How can we avoid giving maintenance when applicant is working


27-Aug-2023 (In Family Law)
We are Hindus.My son has filed divorce petition against his wife. My son's estranged wife has failed petition claiming maintenance money under section 125. In the petition, she has made false statements under oath against which we have hard evidences and can prove them to be false. Please advise what view the court if the statements under oath are proved false. Further, she is professionally qualified and had been working at the time of filing petition and lied before the court that she doesn't have any source of income.We are trying to ascertain, but are not sure about her present working status. Please advise the legal position of the claim for maintenance money. How can we escape it?

For the statements that your daughter in law has lied about and if you manage to get evidences proving her wrong then you can file for perjury under IPC. Besides that, incase you has quit her job now just to get maintenance; court will consider her qualifications and last earning salary and mostly not give her Maintenance. The onus is on you, how you prove it
