HI
Surprising that wife filed a DVC case after 30 years of marriage.
Wife will get maintenance and courts generally award maintenance on different parameters.
There is no fixed percentage of salary awarded as maintenance as the courts take in to account life style, health, Income earning potential, number of dependents of the husband in to account before awarding maintenance.
