Can I file domestic violence case against my in laws


01-May-2023 (In Divorce Law)

Dear lawyers, After going through several documents available on internet,I realized that the abuses I face at my inlaws face come under DV. I'm interested in filling a DV against my husband and my in laws but I have some confusion which I'm noting down below - 1. My matrimonial home and my husband's household are in different district of the same state.If I need to file a DV, I need support of my parents but they are sick and travelling to my in laws place is bit of a challenge for them. I was wondering if I can file a DV from my parents place?
