    The award of maintenance during the pendency of the proceedings if havent been set aside by any court of law shall continue irrespective of the fact that you are earning now. have you filed for a petition under section 125 Cr.P.C for maintenance? and is their any divorce case pending between you both? you must state these facts for proper guidance. is their any child out of the marriage? if yes, in whose custody the child is and since when?
    however, as per law, if you are not able to maintain urself then the husband is liable to pay you the maintenance and a wife can claim 1/4th of the salary of the husband as maintenance as per the recent ruling of the Supreme court.

        Since it is a case under section 125 crpc, if you and your daughter are not able to maintain on the meager salary, then the courts cannot deny you maintenance for your daughter. The father is duty bound by law to pay for the daughter until majority or the marriage of the daughter
