What is the Sharia ruling regarding the amount of maintenance (nafaqah) due to a divorced wife who has two children, taking into consideration her repeated requests for money and lack of frugality, and the husband's salary as an employee, which is $600?

The wife's maintenance is obligatory upon her husband if she is still in the ' (waiting period) of divorce, and it ceases upon its expiration. As for the children's maintenance, it is obligatory upon the father as long as they are minors and have no wealth.
