In divorce cases, a wife cannot claim a portion of your net worth or demand a share in your or your parents' assets.
However, she can seek permanent alimony as a Divorce Settlement, compensation under Domestic Violence Act or interim maintenance under Code of Criminal Procedure while the case is pending.
To determine the amount of alimony, compensation, or interim maintenance, your net worth is crucial.
However, this calculation excludes your parents' net worth and assets, which is often deliberately calculated as part of your personal net worth by the wife’s side to increase the amount sought.
