The answers to your queries are here in below:-

1) The procedure is very lengthy to explain in few words and moreover you seem to have a lawyer who is defending you in the court , Ask him. The court is bound to pass an order of interim maintenance under the DV Act .

2) File an appeal before the High Court.

the maintenance would be decided as per your earnings, assets and liabilities and even the earnings and assets and liabilities of your wife may be considered before passing any order.
