You have to first calculate the take home salary and then devide by number of family members. The part which comes on their part will be paid as monthly maintenance. You can also discuss with your wife and go for one time settlement and file mutual concet divorce.

Sir why you need to live saperate . Send her to her parents place. And then if you both want divorce then file for mutual divorce. Second her earlier working has no role . If she ask for money then it will be 1/3 of your monthly salary as maintenance . And the same for 7 years as one time alimony for life.

See, firstly, you will have to look forward for a valid reason to divorce her. Secondly, yes you will have have to give her maintenance in whichever form she likes, either monthly or lumsum. Lastly, quantum of amount depends upon her life style, like how does she live her life.
