Legal Question in Family Law in India

Divorce and Alimony

I am the same one who has talked about the mutual divorce i have had with my wife 20 years ago. At that time she did not ask for any alimony and i have not paid too becos she was well placed and earning enough. The court also did not direct to pay anything. Now she claims for all these years - is she legally eligible to get anything from me

legally a divorced wife is also entitled for maintenance, however if earlier you have paid her all the maintenance or alimony she is not entitled to any thing.

Just go though the mutual agreement at the time of divorce between you.
