Your ground is strong enough to proof desertion, as you both are living separately from last 5 years. Alimony depends on the source of income of Husband and for the livelihood of the wife. File Divorce petition and if she doesn't show interest then stop paying Maintenance.
Thank you!

माननीय सर्वोच्च न्यायालय के आदेश के अनुपालन में हर न्यायालय में सुलह-समझौता परामर्श केंद्र खुल गया है आप अपने मित्र को परामर्श केंद्र में ले जाएं और जो बात आप कहना चाहते हैं परामर्श में कह कर आपस में सुलह समझौता कर लें तथा जो भी अमाउंट आपने दिया है जो परामर्श में तय होता है उसको रिपीट करते हुए समझौते के आधार पर आपसी सहमति से तलाक ले ले और कोई भी पैसा या कोई भी डिमांड आप को उनके संज्ञान के बिना ना पूरा करें

1. Is your wife working ? what are her qualifications ?

2). Alimony to be awarded is at discretion of court . it depends on your income , years of marriage, life style of husband etc.
such there is no mathematical formula to calculate the amount of alimony which may be granted by court to wife.

3. Every case has its own merits and thus courts grant alimony as per merits of each case.

4. Normally courts grant 1/3 of salary of husband as maintenance if wife files petition for it in court.

The amount of alimony to be paid cannot be fixed by law as it varies from case to case; the most important aspect is to maintain a balance while deciding the same. In divorce cases, the courts must factor in the wife’s status and lifestyle while fixing alimony to ensure that she lives in reasonable comfort considering her status and mode of life she was used to when she lived with her husband.
