        If a wife has the custody of children both (18+) and also has property in her own name but doesn’t earn enough to sustain herself can she get alimony or what would be the best way to proceed

        A civil suit has been filed with the intention to take back the properties in the wife name

        If the wife proves that she earns well and has earned the properties by her income would she still get alimony? On the basis of domestic violence

          First Scenario:

          There is no question of custody of children. The children above 18 years can decide where they want to live. Regarding alimony there is no fixed rule or formula that puts forth certain conditions to calculate the alimony. The court considers that particular case and assets & liabilities of both the spouses while deciding the case.

          the wife who is not earning currently, has no savings in liquid form, has only a property where she lives with her children, has no rental income either, who has to take care of 18+ years if they are still studying or yet to get employed…. definitely has no means to sustain. She will definitely be given alimony. Read here for some more details

          Second Scenario:

          Wife who is still earning and properties bought by her, if she demands for alimony or maintenance under different provisions – the assets & liabilities of both the spouses are considered by the court before deciding whether husband has to pay alimony or maintenance.
