You can contact personally if possible or contact a local advocate.
Re: Maintenace Clarification
if she is employed, she is not entitled to any maintenance; however, if she does not want to live with you, she is entitlted to return of her entire 'istridhan' - all they spent on marriage and also the gifts etc. given by you.
the litigation will be tiring and expensive; try to settle the matter at the earliest by way of a compromise.
Re: Maintenace Clarification
maintenance depends upon various factors viz ur income, ur dependents, income of wife, ur expenses, her living standard and yours...there is no hard and fast formulae for determination of maintenance rather depends upon facts of the case.
