1. You may make efforts for mutual settlement.

2. Divorce may be filed after one year of separation.

3. Her rights in your property will depend upon court's view on alimony.. However, considering her income level as explained by you, she may not get any share in your property, if the same is self acquired out of your own income.

4. A direct talk for settlement may help.
