you can challenge the judgment in the higher court but there is no straight jacket formula for reduction of maintenance and it is being done on the basis of facts of each n every case. your wife may also file a petition for enhancement of her maintenance.
You may better start making payment immediately alongwith all the arrears to avoid any adverse order. and to establish your bona fides.
you can go in appeal.
