The Supreme Court has stated that ex-wives cannot demand a lifestyle that matches their former husbands' growing income or success. According to the court, it would be unfair to expect the husband to maintain his ex-wife's status in line with his own changing circumstances, as this would impose an undue burden. This ruling highlights the importance of financial independence and self-sufficiency in divorce cases, where alimony and maintenance are concerned. The court's decision emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to spousal support, taking into account the changing financial situations of both parties. Key considerations include financial stability, income growth, and divorce laws.
