The Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court recently said that a father has a legal and moral obligation to maintain his minor children even if their mother is a working lady who has her own income. The high court bench of Justice Sanjay Dhar further stated that the mother being a working person does not absolve a father of his responsibility to maintain his children. The court observed while hearing a plea filed the man who said that he did not have enough income to pay maintenance to his minor children. The man also argued that his estranged wife was a working woman who had sufficient income to take care of the children. However, the court rejected his argument.
