Factors affect maintenace amount

The standard of grant of maintenance is - that wife should get a status that is neither luxurious nor nor penurious but modestly consistent with the status of husband and that which she used to enjoy when she was his wife/or lived with him. All the factors that you've specified are to be taken into account, not necessarily with the same weightage. Unsecured/undocumented loans won't get much credence, and so is about lawyer's fees, Home EMI is important so is responsibility of aged parents/young sibilings if any.

My wife filed RCR in Oct 2010 & petition for Maintenance in Dec 2010. In Sept 2012, I was absent for my cross and my cross was delcared closed. A written argument by both the advocates have gone on record, I have not been heard even once nor any of my evidences have gone on record. A Final Judgement would be passed on 21st Dec 2012.
I am unemployed since 2006, owns no property, an aids patient and staying at brother's house. The Opp advocate falsely claims that I earn huge salary, have a massive property. How would these factors affect the judgement ?
