Hi
Under Hindu law, a legally wedded wife has right to claim maintenance.
In case she is educated and employed her right to maintenance does not get affected.
Only thing is you have to contest for the quantum.

In order to nullify the effect of notice you need to send her legal notice reply immediately. If you share your notice then i would give notice reply.
First try to negotiate and settled the matter out of court with mediation technique repeatedly to solve the issue.
What do you want from her divorce or continue the existing relationship.?
She can claim maintenance as of her right given to her.You can't deny her maintenance proviso you give reply in time. She can be eligible for Rs.15000/- maintenance per month i.e. 10k for her and 5k for baby.
I will assure you to settled matter amicably if you send NOTICE REPLY in time.

Yes she is entitled to get maintenance from you even she is educated women but she is not entitled too much maintenance from you. The quantum of maintenance is depends upon circumstances and courts discretion and also depends what is your earning position.
