as per the present law both the husband and wife have to furnish affidavit of assets and liabilities and also furnish everybit of information of income, loan, dependents, health issues, etc then the court will decide whether she is entitled for maintenance, further you can take a defence that she is earning more then you and she can maintain herself, and she has left the house without any valid reason hence she is not entitled for any maintenance.

Dear Sir, Since your wife is working women she may not get any maintenance unless you are having a kid out of wedlock. You have done a good thing having started building a house on loan. You may say that your wife is having sufficient income so no maintenance can be allowed. If both of you go for mutual divorce then it will be easy otherwise you have to prove your MC case.
