Re: interin relief/maintenance muslim couple
You are entitled to maintenance for yourself and your child; now since you are working again, may be part time, the amount may be reduced. In the given situation the court may consider awarding you approximately ten thousand per month considering his income and number of dependents.

The court will give maintainence to your child. Your maintainence will be according to your status before separation.
