Delhi court: Husband pays full child maintenance

The Delhi High Court ruled a divorced husband must solely bear child maintenance expenses, rejecting his plea for a 50:50 split with his wife. The court prioritized the custodial parent's non-monetary contributions. The court acknowledged the wife's dual role as a working professional and primary caregiver, deeming a 50:50 financial division inappropriate. The husband earns significantly more than the wife, who has custody of the children. The ruling emphasizes the importance of recognizing the emotional and psychological burdens of the custodial parent, particularly working mothers. The court upheld the children's right to support and a comparable standard of living.
