Court Orders Man to Pay Alimony After Income Revealed
Imagine a dad who was supposed to pay money to help his wife and son.
He told the court he didn't have a job so he wouldn't have to pay.
His wife checked if he was telling the truth.
She found out he made lots of money, but wasn't sharing it.
A judge then said he had to pay money to his wife and his son, who needs extra care because he has autism.
The judge was also upset that the dad wasn't helping his son.
The judge made it clear that the father must provide financial support and care for his child.
A man falsely claimed unemployment to avoid alimony and child support payments.
The woman filed an RTI, revealing the man's annual income of Rs 27 lakh.
The Jharkhand High Court ordered the man to pay Rs 90,000 monthly: Rs 50,000 to the wife and Rs 40,000 for the autistic son.
The court criticized the family court for accepting the man's unemployment claim without verification.
