Reduce monthly maintenance amount after mutual consent divorce


02-Aug-2023 (In Family Law)
My divorce happened in May 2015, started with contested and ended up with mutual consent. My ex-wife had put all kinds of DV and Dowry cases on me and my parents in 2014, even though we were living separated since 2009. Anyways, the divorce happened in May 2015 and the monthly maintenance was settled for 55k, with an increase of 5k every alternate year, so its 60k now. Unfortunately, I do not have means to support this money, and am already in debt and am not able to pay my EMIs also to bank which I had taken for business loan (to start new work last year) and personal loan (to give her monthly maintenance). Unfortunately the new work hasnt kicked off and Im in grave financial debt. I married again in Dec 2016 and she has been supporting me financially and running the house, but kindly suggest, how can I reduce my monthly maintenance of 60k to atleast half, as the situation is very bad and its not correct to put this financial strain on my wife.

You can file application under section 127 Cr P C for reduction of maintenance amount albeit alteration depends on facts which you have to prove in the court.

That in case facts changed the maintenance amount can be altered. for doing so you have to approach the Court with changed circumstances but with proof what you are alleging. The court will consider the same and you will get the relief.
