Maintenance is a legal right provided to dependent spouses, children, and parents to ensure financial support and livelihood. It is designed to prevent economic hardship for those who are unable to maintain themselves, especially after separation, divorce, or abandonment. Maintenance can be claimed under various provisions of personal laws as well as Section 125 of the CrPC.

Types of Maintenance

Spousal Maintenance – Financial support to a wife or husband who is unable to sustain themselves after separation or divorce.

Child Maintenance – Provision for the upbringing, education, and welfare of minor children.

Parental Maintenance – Legal obligation of children to provide financial support to their dependent parents.

Interim Maintenance – Temporary relief granted until a final decision is made in the case.
