𝐖𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬

Sir
I am in lots of misery. During the pandemic I lost my job as a civil estimation engineer.
However my wife of 17 yrs of marriage is employed as a govt teacher and draws a good salary.
But now she is refusing in contributing anything towards running the house hold expenditure even so not paying for our son's school fees.
I am paying for all the expenses either by taking a loan or asking from my relatives.
My wife is threatening me with Divorce as I have been unable to pay as my wife states that running the house is not her responsibility but the husband's responsibility.
My wife even has consulted some lawyer friend of hers who says there are judgments where it is stated that the husband has to pay for the household expenditure even if he has no source of income irrespective of what his wife is earning.
I am very scarred and troubled with my wife's attitude. 
I want to know that if there are any such judgment of any court where it states that the husband has to pay even when he has no source of income and when his so called wife is working in a govt job getting a good salary.

Plz help me ...plz



Quick Summary
A husband who lost his job is facing immense distress as his wife, a government teacher, refuses to contribute to household expenses or their son's school fees. She insists that financial responsibility lies solely with the husband, even threatening divorce and citing legal advice that husbands must pay regardless of their income. The husband is seeking information on court judgments that might support his wife's claim or, conversely, clarify his rights when his wife has a stable income.

Law and its procedure is helpless in solving lack of understanding among husband and wife.

there I have attached the judgment which proves that the husband doesn’t have to pay the maintenance. https://www.scconline.com/blog/post/2020/11/05/maintenance-of-wifehusband-doesnt-have-to-pay-maintenance-in-each-of-the-proceedings-under-different-maintenance-laws-explainer-on-supreme-court-guidelines/

Judgments are magic wands.
