My doubt is, how maitainence is fixed? 
Take: It is based on status, education, earning capacity r/w reasonable wants of claimant. For more details self read similar discussions already published in Family Law Forum.

if MCD is the court who fixes one time alimony? 
Take: It is mutually agreed by parties themselves as to what amount towards full and final alimony is agreeable by weaker spouse to affix her consent during second motion. Court does only an inquiry to joint petition having mutual decided alimony amount and does not come into picture to fix or reduce the alimony when case is that of MCD.

if yes approximatly haw much? in may case? 
Take: If you are un-employed then same needs to be mentioned by way of affidavit. Further one needs to voluntarily submit to Court Commissioner enquiry as to your un-employment status. A un-employed husband if showing un-employed status then it should flow much much before maintenance application filed by a weaker spouse under Civil laws then he is not supposed to pay maintenance to his wife under civil laws. However as per Minimum Wage Act that each State maintains its local price index upon most of the ld. Judges take inference that a able body must be earning minimum wage and thus referring at price index of the State passing the said Order announce a minimum maintenance which then bcomes matter under Appeal as is the case we see from experience.
