I want to file for maintainenance now for myself and our 5 years old son. My question is- Do i have to file for divorce inorder to get maintenance for myself and my son OR Can i just file for Maintenance in USA for myself and my son.

If you have been apart that long why not a divorce? Is there something keeping you together? . You should do something. That better reflects what you are doing and what you want.
