in Indian situation it is very rare that a working/ earning wife is asked/required by Law to pay maintenance to husband. Anyway, if you are planning to file a case of divorce against your husband, you better collect details and evidence of where is Investment are. if your plan well you can even get order against him for maintenance and expenses of your child. .
