It is the responsibility of both the husband and spouse to maintain the child. If the spouse is earning more you can ask the court for reducing the maintainance amount for the child as your spouse is earning more and able to maintain herself and the child. The court will also consider type of the spouse job such as whehter it is a permanent or temporary job.
