Judge Wins Maintenance For Kids From Lawyer Husband

City’s family court no.1 has recently directed a government lawyer to pay Rs 24,000 per month as interim maintenance for his two children to his wife, a woman judge, from December 2021.

The court’s presiding officer Arun Kumar Dubey gave this order on the application by the woman judge who was posted at an Additional District Judge (ADJ) court in Sriganganagar. The petitioner got married to lawyer Bharat Ajmera on November 24, 2007, in Jaipur.

She stated that they had a daughter in 2010 and a son in 2015. Both the children stayed with their mother and the husband never took care of them. At the time of marriage, her husband was trying for employment and she provided him with financial support, the woman judge stated in her application. Her husband was now working as an Assistant Prosecution Officer in Ajmer but his behavior and his family members towards her and the children were not supportive.

The woman filed a petition for divorce, seeking maintenance for the children, and in response, the husband’s advocate, DS Shekhawat, stated that the salary of the petitioner was more than Rs 2 lakh per month and she herself filed the application for divorce. He said that the woman was capable of taking care of the children herself.

The lawyer’s salary was only Rs 75,000 per month, the advocate argued.
