The court will not only take into account the position of the husband but also the position and situation of the wife. In case the wife is working and drawing a handsome salary, the Court will certainly take that into consideration along with the husband's income and then depending on the facts and circumstances of the case decide whether alimony/maintenance is to be awarded to the wife and if yes, then the amount she shall receive from the husband.you can give pittition to stop maintains if she remarries .

You will have to give maintenance for your son. In the case of your wife you should plead in court that she is able to maintain herself and that she is living apart without any valid reason. But as you mentioned, she is having no job, court may award maintenance for her also.

DURING MAINTENANCE PROCEEDINGS YOU HAVE TO PLEAD AND LEAD EVIDENCE THAT OUT OF HER OWN FREE WILL SHE LEFT YOUR COMPANY AND WITHOUT THERE BEING ANY SUFFICIENT REASON SHE IS LIVING SEPERATLY. OTHERWISE GET READY TO PAY THE MAINTENANCE.
