- Consult a learned local advocate.

- You can approach the mediation center.

- Discuss with your wife and opt for amicable settlement & MCD.

Your wife could have even claimed 2L PM as maintenance....... Remember ur wife has to prove based on evidences as to what ur income is.....most important is ur current income. 

 

If u have lost job due to court cases and if there is truth then court will consider this aspect while awarding maintenance. Also courts will ascertain when and why did u sell your properties and there could be an adverse inference if its found that you have done it deliberately to avoid paying high maintenance. 

 

Remember when divorce cases reach the court its assumed that husband will declare himself a pauper to avoid paying maintenance/to reduce maintenance. So tread carefully and present ur case properly to the court.

 

Reg custody you can handle that at a later stage, u should prioritize on maintenance case.

Please try to reconcile with ur wife if possible , u have 2 sweet daughters............as per ur version there are not much issues then why seperation / divorce ???

contest the case on merit

try to prove to court that u care for her and she left her matrimonial home at her own will

tell court your actual earnings and your liabilities

court may grant one third of ur earnings to your wife after deducting compulsory deductions if u have

If your wife has deserted you, living separately by mutual agreement and off lately she filed divorce then she is not eligible for maintenance even for a penny as per CrPC 125 sub section 4. However, court may grant maintenance for your child as per your current income or based on your net worth.

 

You may file for custody under GWA section 12, 15 and 25 but since your current earning is null, result may not in your favor. However, you may get access and visitation rights. Note that you are already a legal and moral guardian of your child since both of them are above 5 years age.
