Dear,
1st hearing she will not be granted generally, but some interim amount could be granted soon, and yes you will get full opportunity to present your case on merits.

First I object Ld. Kapil Chandna about provide Phone No. to author, it is bad practice.
Second to author.
Answer 1 : Generally the Ld. court grant interim maintenance order first then the final maintenance order, order depend on nature of citation of plaint.
Answer 2 : Yes you have right to fight the case with spirit, if she is employed and mentioned in plaint that unemployed you can take a chance to dismiss the case with filing documents.

1) interim maintenance generally takes around 6 months to be decided .
2) in your reply to her application stress on fact that she is employed .gather evidence of her employment .

Mr.Rajan, when you are required to defend your case, you have to approach a local advocate as we cannot do so from here. We can only advise you whether your problem has any legal remedy and how to approach. We can not spoon feed every step. That is the job of local advocate that you engage.

All your questions are too early for an action to be taken that way. First you appear before the court on the date of hearing, you will get copies, go through them, prepare a reply to the allegations in her application and then challenge her allegations properly in the court, take the help of a lawyer to defend you, in case of any doubt in the later stage, you may approach this forum for clarification, before that cut your anxiety.
