Dear Sir,

Thank you for getting in touch with me on this.

I understand your position as your liabilities are more than your salary and this judgement may not work out for you.

I strongly urge that you appeal against the first court judgement as the appeal court may appreciate the facts and documentation in a better manner.

There is no straight jacket formula that the maintenance will increase or decrease, but you should file an appeal as you are not left with any choice.

Further, only if your wife files an appeal the amount may increase, otherwise, the court will reduce the amount or reject the case in your appeal.

You can get in touch with me on 052-9495731 or email for further discussion and clarifications.

I trust you will find this helpful.

Regards,

Hari Wadhwana
