if husband is un employed he should make an application for modification of order of maintenance passed by trial court .

merely because your father in law has recently retired from high position is no ground to claim maintenace from him it is the responsibility of husband to maintain his wife

In view of the fact that in spite of being unemployed you have unemployed old parents to support you can request the court to reduce the amount of maintenance ordered to be paid by you. Such a request merits a serious consideration at the hands of court.

You cannot claim any maintenance from your father-in-law irrespective of him having recently retired from a high position.
