My ex-husband is not paying maintenance ordered by court. What to do?

Family court ordered ₹15,000 per month maintenance 6 months ago. He has not paid even once. What legal action can I take?

Adv. Swati Banerjee

File an execution petition under Section 125 CrPC/BNSS before the same Family Court. The court can issue a warrant of arrest and even imprisonment for wilful default. You can also attach his property or bank accounts. Act quickly as each month adds to the arrears.
