I have perused your query. The alimony or the maintenance sought by the wife comes with the divorce proceedings. Though the wife will be entitled to maintenance or alimony but the fact that she is earning and she will be able to maintain herself will be considered while granting maintenance.

there is no mandatory clause of maintenance except for maintenance granted under section 125 of CrPC. interim maintenance can be granted under Section 24 of Hindu Marriage Act, if the marriage is governed by Hindu laws..there are a few factors which are considered while granting maintenance to wife and child and is at the discretion of the court
