My pension covers our household expenses, but my wife and children don’t work. Would I have any right to stay in the house after the divorce? How much alimony and maintenance would I be required to pay?

Under Indian law, the house, being a gift to your wife, is her separate property and you likely have no claim to it. Alimony and maintenance would depend on various factors like your income, your wife’s needs, and the duration of the marriage. Consulting a lawyer is crucial to understand your specific rights and obligations.
