For your wife, the maximum maintenance is not fixed but can be up to 25-30% of your net income, subject to judicial discretion. Given she left in 2020, the court may also assess her reasons for leaving and your conduct during the marriage.

hi, I can well understand your concern from the query raised, the computation of alimony and maintenance varies from case to case, depending on income factors of both persons and their needs, and it is finally for the Hon'ble Family court to decide in the event there is no consensus between the parties, thank you
