Is the wife entitled to get alimony and maintenance even if she is working?

A.Hello,
In case the wife is working and drawing a handsome salary, the Court will certainly take that into consideration along with the husband's income and then depending on the facts and circumstances of the case decide whether alimony/maintenance is to be awarded to the wife and if yes, then the amount she shall receive from the husband.

A.yes if there is big difference in incomes then she can get maintenance. There is no alimony until you prove a ground of divorce.
