You should go to High Court to challenge that order. There are legal cells which will provide you advocate without any fee or on basic fee. You also get evidence about her earning that will support your case.

It it unfortunate, you can certainly challenge that order and if you succeeded to prove that she is earning, then she will not be entitle for any maintenance.
Further, the general tendency of the court to order for maintenance of 30% of the total income of the husband.

You have to challenge the lower court order to the higher court otherwise she will file an execution petition before the concerned court and your salary will be attached. Without appealing the said order, the order will be not be corrected by the higher court in suo Moto. I would suggest you to challenge the order or pay the expenses. You have very limited options. Revert me . All the best.
