She will not get amy maintenance and tye court cannot grant her maintenance if you have no earnings.

She is currently employed and hence no maintenance can be claimed by her.

Dear Sir,

Interim Maintenance can be claimed by her during the continuation of proceedings of the divorce. But if you prove in the court that you are currently unemployed by showing the account details and the other evidence, the court might consider the point which will help to minimize the amount paid to her. 

If you have the proof or the evidence for showing that your wife is employed and earns by herself, you wouldn't be entitled for paying any maintenance to her. 

It is advisable to file a suit on the grounds of restitution of conjugal rights against her and if you succeed to prove the same in the court, she wouldn't be entitled to any maintenance. While considering the amount of maintenance, the husband is entitled to pay 1/4 th of the salary/income to his wife. Thank You
