Since it’s a mutual consent, you can either accept the demand on reject. On rejection, the mutual consent petition will not survive. It’ll be dismissed.

If it’s unacceptable for you, try to convince her during the mediation process and if she still isn’t, then you’ll have no choice but to withdraw from the petition. You or her would end up filing a contested petition.

if it was at her instanle mutual is filed, then now if she is going back on her word about money to be paid to her, you can just refuse to attend hearing of next final date. Don't worry, Nothing happens.

ok let her not come the case at the most will be dismissed you can file a case for divorce separately against her, I think in mutual consent divorce petition it may he mentioned about alimony and maintenance, if written explain it to her and try to make her agree as per the terms and conditions mentioned in mutual consent divorce if she agrees well and good or else you have to file seperate petition against her for divorce.
