Hi, it is suggested to you that grant of maintenance to the wife depends on the many factors and there can be no hard and fast rule. The factors are her earning capacity, wealth available to her and her liabilities. At the same time, your income and liabilities such as repayment of loan if any, taking care of parents and own maintenance are also considered and the amount may differ from case to case.

There is no specific amount which can be assured to you right now. Before awarding maintenance to wife the court will first take into the consideration the financial condition of wife. If the wife is in a position to earn her livelihood then the court can even refuse to grant her maintenance.

Grant of maintenance depends upon the income and status of parties and depends upon facts of each case. Give more details about income of your wife and your liabilities like parents etc. Your wife can claim monthly maintenance even before divorce.
