Legal Question in Family Law in India

my dv case is in district court.i am seeking maintenance,compensation,streedhan etc.
my hubby is abroad,earning in lakhs monthly and is the only child of his parents.his father gets pension and is retired from govt service.
i joined a well known public school of delhi JUST 5 DAYS BACK as a teacher on contractual basis.my salary in hand is 14,000 monthly which is NOT THE GOVT SCALE.they make teachers permanent only after 5 years,ie.i can lose my job anytime within these 5 yrs.if they dont like me.
let me also tell you that my case is in court since last year.and my maintenance has not even started,ie no interim and lifelong maintenance.and during this 1 year i was jobless.
in the above scenario can the MM deny me maintenance since i m working even though this job is NOT PERMANENT,VERY RECENT & not giving me full scale .
what if i am denied maintenance since i m working and in b/w my services are terminated.then i shall be on roads.will it not be injustice?please advise me.

No, normally you should not be denied maintenance by the MM. You are entitled to maintenance / compensation in tune with the "standard of living' of your husband also related with his income. If your husband is abroad, you should be entitled to maintenance at least to the tune of 50,000 p.m. irrespective of your salary.
