In India, lawyer fees for maintenance cases can vary greatly, typically ranging from Rs.20,000 to Rs.2,50,000 or more depending on the lawyer?s experience, the complexity of the case, and individual fee structures, while court fees under Section 125 of the CrPC are minimal often around Rs.10. The bulk of expenses usually comes from the lawyer's professional charges, which can increase significantly if the matter reaches the High Court, where fees may range from a few thousand rupees for simpler cases to several lakhs for complex matters or when engaging senior advocates.

Hi Fees depends on the lawyer's expertise and experience. Fees are not uniform or standardised in legal profession. Also in a maintenance case, the lawyer might be asking for documentation charges. As such court fees is only 10Rupees for any matrimonial case including maintenance case. But documentation charges are etc and professional fees are charged some times based on appearance, some times on a fixed fee basis etc.
