Dear Sir,
Since your wife is a working woman and getting sufficient income for her maintenance. However, to maintain the equal status the Court may award a meager amount of Rs.5 to 10 thousand per month. You may resist the same on several ground and thus make it as Nil maintenance.

Hello sir, I can help you with the query. As per general law, you have to pay maintenance even when your wife is working. But the court will take a lot of criteria into consideration while giving the order.
