Mutual divorce
My wife asked for divorce after 3 years of our marriage, so we filed for mutual consent divorce and the papers were made by her lawyer.
Currently she didn’t ask for any alimony or maintenance and nothing like that is mentioned in the petition. I want to ask if she can later in future file claims for alimony or maintenance or any financial claims after the divorce decree is finalised. She had a job before from which she resigned few months back.
Currently in the petition it is mentioned that - “the rights and claims of the Petitioners against each other have been settled in accordance with the Settlement Deed filed herewith, and henceforth neither of the parties shall file or pursue any claims/rights against each other inter alia including claims over each other's properties etc.”
The above doesn’t specifically talk that they will not make any claims on alimony or maintenance and therefore I am a bit worried. So is the above okay so should it be amended. If amendment is needed please guide me on how it can be done as it is already filed 2 months back. Thank you 🙏
