Dear Sir, Since your wife is earning sufficiently as such you need not pay any maintenance to her. However, you have to pay some alimony if you are in urgency to get divorce otherwise just prolong the matter and ultimately she will be frustrated and you will get result in your favour. See that application under Section 9 be contested otherwise if allowed you are finalised to pay monthly fine to her if you do not join her company.
