Hi
Certainly you are entitled for maintenance. You will surely get amount of monthly maintenance in order to fulfill your need inuding need of children. But that purpose you will have to file petition for that purpose. So far as time factor is concerned, it is hard to say any straightjacket formula. it depends upon consistent attempts of your Advocate for getting order.
