Legal Question in Family Law in India

I am an Hindu, married to an Hindu women, now has a 4 year old male child (with wife), she got converted to Christianity (pentecost). I have applied for divorce because of conversion. Got an interim order (from family court) to see the child in every Sunday 10:30 am to 12:30. I followed that and went to High Court to change that and got an order as I requested that can have the kid with me from Saturday morning 10:00 am to Sunday evening 5:00 PM ever other week. Further I have requested for permanent custody in the fear that my child will be converted to Christianity (pentecost) which I do not want to happen. She has asked for maintenance. At present I am not working and looking for a job (my last working salary is 30000 per month), relieving order submitted. She is working and earning 10000 per month. Family court has released an order (without doing any reasonable investigation or checking any proof) that I should give 8000 per month for wife and 4000 per month for kid and 10000 as court expenses. Actually I am the one who has been effected by her conversion. My question is this order reasonable? How can a person can give this much of money without doing a job?. Also I am ready to give a reasonable amount for my kid as they are feeding him, and I am directly taking care of other expenses like dresses, education, medical etc, but not for wife as she has cheated me by converting into another religion (eg: not wearing thali is equal to my death). I am planning to go to High court against the maintenance order, can you suggest that it is worth appealing in the high court, will I get a reasonable answer (I am not convinced with blankly saying whatever is the case a man has to give maintenance to wife)?
