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.

Hi,
It depends on which state the issue is to be filed and what is the claim of maintenance you are asking to be filed against your husband . Generally it depends on the nature of your filing how many documents is to file and the copies to be made. The fee shall be fixed by the Court at not less than Rs. 1,500/-and not more than Rs. 25,000/- at its discretion subject to the provision of Rule 18 below. Call us through the website to help you
