There are many judgement which says he can not escape from his libility . If he does not have job still he has to meet his liability.

Dear Client, you may ask through your lawyer about his earlier jobs and also his capacity to earn based on his education. the court may ask to pay a lum sum amount for your and children maintenance. This is his liability too, which he has to fulfill. He can not deny or rid off from his responsibility and liability.

A Hindu male is legally obligated to maintain his spouse. Maintenance includes provision for food, residence, clothing, education and medical attendance and treatment. A jobless husband cannot deny maintenance to wife, but a jobless wife can claim maintenance from husband. In Shailja & Anr. v. Khobanna case, the Supreme Court made a remarkable observation by stating that merely because the wife is capable of earning it is not a reason to reduce the maintenance awarded to her and said that whether a wife is capable of earning and is actually earning are two different factors.
