The first thing you need to do is approach the Crimes against Women Cell in your area to register a FIR and file for a protection order with the Domestic Violence Court at the same time. The Domestic Violence Court will not only prohibit your husband from interacting with you or your child but will also make your husband pay a rental allowance to you for alternate accommodation.
Thereafter, you should file applications for maintenance under Section 125 CrPC claiming maintenance on behalf of both you and your daughter. After obtaining all the above reliefs, you should file for a divorce if wish to do so. Also move an application for interim maintenance pending the divorce proceedings if you do proceed for a divorce. Feel free to get in touch if we could be of any further assistance to you
