A maintenance case without divorce versus a settlement offer by husband

Dear sir/madam,

I have filed for a maintenance case without an intention for divorce. The case has reached the hearing stage. In the first hearing, my husband said that he wants to offer me a settlement outside the court.

The next hearing is after 4 days and till now, he has not presented anything to me.

I am still his wife. What kind of settlement can he offer in a maintenance case?

Dear questioner,

This depends on him, but it is better for you to ask the lawyer to attend the hearing with you to collect the best judgment.

I do not have a lawyer. My husband has.

I want to get some insight that in the maintenance case, what settlement can he offer?

And the hearing is in 2 days. They still have not presented any settlement.

Is it better to go with the judge's decision or see the settlement?

You have to keep both.

Try to settle it with him, and keep the file active.

Without a lawyer, you may lose.

Do you charge for a consultation?

Isn’t maintenance my right as his wife? How can I lose?

Yes, we have a charge for consultation, but now it is free for the first time.

It is your right but how much you will get! It is the issue.

Who can present the required efforts? What is the evidence?
