there are two aspect to it. first maintenance is about enabling the hapless wife to continue her living with dignity as per the socio economic standard of her estranged husband. if after fulfilling all your liabilities the court finds you have means to grant maintenance toyour wife then it wont bother the court much. if the court sees your liability as your luxury it might boomerang. home loan if taken after you and your wife became estranged then certainly it would be counted as luxury.
