Normally the court calculating 1/3 on the cross salary to wife alone. If she filed interim maintenance to the for herself and the children then the court fixed 1/2 on the cross income. The working women not eligible to get the interim maintenance.

Interim maintenance is calculated from gross salary and not net salary. 1/3rd of the gross salary may be ordered towards maintenance. has interim maintenance already ordered? If yes then you can file an Appeal in the High Court and reduce it. You will have to get evidence to show that your wife is working. Kindly contact me to discuss your case in detail to give you further advice.

I.A. and try to impress the court about her financial status, failure to get any reprieve you can escalate the same in HIGH COURT .
