No, actually police takes its own time to file chargesheet thats why it got delay in the cases of marriage. Yes you can file your divorce case in ththe meanwhile but i don understand why your maintainnace petiton is not passed

Yes ofcourse you can file divorce case also. You can aslo file maintenance for u and your daughter if u r nt a working woman and less qualified than ur husband. You have no need to wait for completion. You can file anytime as u want. Kindly provide me full details of your case so it would be better for advising.

Yes you can file divorce case in competent court. Have you filed an application for maintenance in the court or not? If not you can file an application for maintenance before the Court. If your husband doesn't come/ appear in the court, the court can issue warrant against your husband, to arrest.
