S>Will the court ask me to pay maintenance even though I am currently unemployed?
Read about [Rajneesh vs. Neha Affidavit. ](https://www.scribd.com/document/713541236/Income-Affidavit-rajnesh-neha)Courts can not ask you to pay maintenance unless both you and your opponent submit this affidavit. This document helps the court understand the overall financial position of the parties. This combined with ability to earn currently helps to decide the maintenance amount. Generally if a person can earn and there are no children born out of wedlock, interim maintenance is not awarded.
>If I get a job offer, should I take it or will it negatively impact the maintenance case?
No it will not negatively impact the maintenance case. Take the offer
>Any legal or practical advice on how to navigate this situation?
Rajneesh vs. Neha guidelines were set in place by Supreme Court of India but the trial of interim maintenance may be happening in a lower court who may not follow it by default. If that is the case, my advice to you would be to ask your advocate to submit a plea such that the lower court handling your case, follows it.
