yes, you can claim maintenacne and for that you do not need to show any rental bills, if you do not stay on rent. you can claim maintenance under the criminal procedure code, Hindu Marriage Act and/or Domestic Violence Act.

What happened to the divorce case file by your husband?

You can claim monthly maintainance or lumpsum maintainance in that case itself.

In these type of matters it is better to mediate and arrive at a mediated settlement.
