Ma'am maintenance claim is based on the omission of father/husband to maintain the children and wife. while awarding maintenance, the lifestyle enjoyed in the matrimonial home is considered, therefore you can establish that you expenses are in excess of your income. Court will consider the income and expenditure of both parties for grant of maintenance. once you start the proceedings with under section 125 Code of criminal procedure or Domestic Violence Act, interm maintenance will be granted at the initial stage which may be 1/3 to 1/5 part of the husband's salary.
Once you start legal proceedings, they are always chances of divorce and custody proceedings being filed by the husband to counter/ harass you.
