You have to pay the maintenance amount to your wife till her death or her remarriage if she is umemployed. In your case wife is working. So need not to pay the maintenance but for getting divorce you have to pay the malimony. For the kids.you have to pay the maintenance till their marriage or getting employed if they are female children.

Hai, Its quite strange that u still want to loose these two kids and forget about ur wife. Life is Short, fights does starts where there are misunderstandings and communication gaps. Try a Pre Litigation Petition outside court for settling the issue with ur wife first. U wont get any better with the new girl. Regarding query, u will have to maintain the kids also. so approximately about 10,000/- per month. will come around between 5000 to 10000, if u r a middle class family person with about 18000 to 30,000 per month guy. if u gets more u will have to pay them more. the amount is also subject to rise from year to year. wont go less than 5000. Period ??? till ur wife remarries or files a joint. yet have to pay for kids.

The query suggestion suggests no legal issue, but infatuation with another lady putting your family life in risk. Such immoral queries are not entitled for any free legal advice. You may seek professional advice or suggestion.

Alimony or maintaince depends on your wife's salary. If she gets handful, then no need. However you have to pay a good amount towards your children's maintaince. That may be devided between you and your wife. Maintaince to your wife is only till she gets married to other person. Maintaince may also depend on your salary.
