no fixed formula is there. but according to above mentioned details husband can show liabilities of brother,sister and mother and self expenses of about 20,000 then some tax and other deductions of about 7000 per month then maintenence will be decided on remaining 23,000 and wife may get one third (roughly)of that i.e. about 8000. Courts will consider other factors as well like her qualification and her previous job status and reasons for desertion/separation as case may be.

As wife had done B.Ed she may get job and if she joins any lob then later on if you manage to prove that she is working then she wont get maintenence.

Just dig our earlier similar posts of other members many strategies are explained for various types of such cases here in this forum only. need not to worry.

all the best.
