Husband not providing sufficient amount for living after separation


29-Sep-2023 (In Family Law)
My husband and I seperated last year. We signed a seperation document and I specified that I will need 30k every month. We have a joint account which is his pension account. He has a card for it but i do not since I will need his signatures for the same. From the last few months he has not been leaving enough money in the account. He leaves about 12-13 thousand only which is not enough for me and my daughter. This month he took out all the money. I would like to know a legal way through which i can sort this out once and for all.

There is no clarity as to whether joint memo was signed before the court. If it is, then you can approach the court and file application request court order.

If it is a outside court understanding, then you have to file case for maintenance
