You are entitled to maintenance even now for yourself as well as for your child.
You can seek maintenance at the place where you are residing; and may also initiate criminal proceedings against ur husband not only DVA but also under section 498-A of IPC
Please feel free for any guidance/support. NO CHARGES.
