Your brother needs to obtain his Bank Account statements (for every bank account that he has) and Income Tax Returns for the last and present financial year up to date. After collecting these statements, file an Interlocutory Application in the Family Court, attaching all these statements to show to the Court that he has no income and therefore cannot pay maintenance.

Once the order of maintenance is pronounced , you can file writ petition to High Court for challenging the order immediately ,within sixty days of the order if not it is very difficult . Since you have already executed the order of the court and paying maintenance to your son at present you cannot go back and say you cannot pay further maintenance since your marriage is still existence and case is pending before the court you have to pay the maintenance,in case if you leave the job also. Maintenance is the right ..
