Overview
- The Chennai Family Welfare Court issued interim directions that require Ravi Mohan to pay ₹3 lakh a month to Aarti and ₹1 lakh a month to each son, and to cover the children’s school fees.
- A number of reports say the court ordered Mohan to bear about ₹86 lakh a year in American school fees for the two children.
- On Monday Aarti’s mother, Sujatha Vijayakumar, held a press conference saying the widely reported ₹40 lakh figure was an aggregation of debts and children’s costs and not a personal maintenance demand for Aarti.
- Ravi Mohan responded on Instagram with a note saying the four of them will never be in the same room while he is alive and has signalled he will not reconcile.
- The court also directed there be no restriction on the children meeting their father after earlier concerns that visits planned with a spiritual healer made the children uncomfortable.
