Request husband to pay lumpsum amount as alimony as you are 44 years old and have daughter to support

You talk to him and agree for mutual consent divorce on the basis of one time settlement of a huge amount, if he is agreeing for it then you can take 50% at the time of filing the divorce case and balance at the time of second motion.

If he is not agreeing then you refuse to his divorce proposal and file a maintenance case under (section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) )Section 144 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).

You collect the evidence of his salary income and the company where he is currently employed and file the maintenance case in Bangalore itself, let him appear before court and express his own problems which can be challenged properly.

Dear Client,

You have the legal right to be granted alimony after your second marriage. your current living status, lack of employment, and your child’s necessity require support. Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 both husband and wife can claim maintenance and it is determined by factors like the duration of marriage, financial position of both the parties and the standard of living which had been enjoyed by the couple during the marriage. Although the fact that your husband earns a lot of money can help you get a low alimony, your current complete financial reliance on your husband will work in your favour. The best approach to solve this problem is to explain your need for maintenance to your husband and sue for a reasonable amount. In the case of a deadlock, you can always seek for alimony through a court, this is based on the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956 this entitles a claim for maintenance in cases of desertion or appropriate cause of separation. It is also  advisable to hire a family law attorney to help with approaching the legal matters.
