Contributions towards household expenses and maintainance of wife and children are governed by various factors. We will need to discuss your financial standing along with your wife's financial standing and marital status before we can suggest a course of action.

Request you to contact to discuss the matter In detail before we can suggest a remedy.

All this depends on her education and the job that she is doing. Also what amount of salary is she earning. So I request you to kindly get in touch with a lawyer with all the documents that you have..
