Dear Mr Faisal,
You are being unemployed now does not stand the defence as you are incapable for earning, your previous record of earnings can be the basis of assessment for determining the maintenance amount related to the salary and the capacity of the person to give.
Now comes the point that whether she is entitled for the maintenance of not is the question related with her qualifications and earning capacity even if she is not earning now if she is capable to earn and maintain herself she will not be getting any maintenance amount for her but for the child you have to pay even if she belongs to a very rich family.
About the custody of the child the welfare of the child and his future is the prime importance in the eyes of the court till he attains the adult hood if she is having better environment to provide the child than you she will get the custody of the child irrespective of your love and affection to the child. His welfare is paramount always while deciding the custody mater.
