The law of maintenance says that approximately 1/3rd of the net salary of the husband is given to wife as maintenance, as your case is concerned you are working women and your husband is earning nothing and dependant on his parents do court shall assume as worker and assume his earning as Rs. 9000/- per month approx.. And out of which you are entitled for Rs. 3000/- but as you are working so very meagre chance of getting maintenance.

You have mentioned you are working women, so i would assuming you are earning enough for yourself. so in the present case you cannot claim for yourself but you can definitely claim expenses for your daughter from your husband . and if your willing to co-reside then file for restitution of conjugal rights
you cannot directly claim from your father in law as long as your husband is there. even though your husband might be dependent upon his parents but is his job to look after the family. (even if he has to work as laborer) . on failure to pay he can be sentenced to prison. then you father in law will pay to keep him out of prison.

once you are working and your husband is not working, you cannot claim amount of maintenance from your husband. However, you can file a claim in the name of your daughter from her father. if he is not earning but still you can file claim against her. there is no provision of claiming maintenance from your in-laws.

Yes you can seek maintenance for you and for your baby girl (daughter) but only from your husband but not from ur in-laws. The maintenance will be assessed on the basis of your husband and your income.
