It is better to contact me personally

A muslim can marry 4 then there is no reason
to conceal 2nd.At least it would prove besides burden to maintain parents you have two wives to maintain with earning you have.
so naturally it will have an impact on quantum of maintenance to be awarded to 1st one by court.

Disclose it to prove your added liability, so maintenance amount will decrease.

If First marriage was amde as per Sharia then the second marriage valid.

However if the first marriage was made as per Special MARRIAGE aCT,then second marriage is invalid.

You have pay maintenance to both the wives.

The maintenance is the right of your first wife irrespective of your performing of second marriage. There is no relationship of your second marriage with the maintenance of the first (divorced) wife.

First wife is eligible for maintenance. Issue is not related to your second marriage.
