Maintenance is always decided looking at the income of both the spouses however it is totally upto the court to decide on the quantum of maintenance there is no probable answer that can be given to the parties as it is solely for the court to decide the quantum of maintenance which the court will grant

firstly your wife will not get any maintenance from you because she is capable to earn and she was earning also and having bank balance also and most important thing is childrens are with her husband so it is enough to prove supreme courts several cases which says educated and capable to earn women is not capable to get maintenance from her husband in your case prima facie your wife is not able to take any kind of maintenance from you then also fomo correct and detail suggestion and need to go through out some necessary documents.
