Dear Sir,
If you want to stay with your wife, the best course will be to file an application under Sec9 of Hindu Marriage Act. Maintenance is her right but it can be challenged based on certain facts and judgments.

When a couple gets divorced by mutual consent, the decision on alimony is subject to the mutual understanding between the couple. And if you are contesting for your divorce petition that is totally different from mutual divorce petition, in that case court intervenes and decides the issue of alimony on merits of case. Assessment of amount of alimony is entirely court's discretion. The factors that the court takes into consideration for permanent alimony are: The status and position of the husband, his income, his assets and his lifestyle; the reasonable wants of wife; the wife's own income or earnings. The court will not only take into account the position of the husband but also the position and situation of the wife. In case the wife is working and drawing a handsome salary, the Court will certainly take that into consideration along with the husband's income and then depending on the facts and circumstances of the case decide whether alimony/maintenance is to be awarded to the wife and if yes, then the amount she shall receive from the husband. So, first try to settle the amount mutually, if it is not possible then you should go for the divorce petition and let the court decide the amount of alimony because by this all the things will be on record and before the honble court.
