Regarding staying separately, you are entitled to get maintenance from your husband for yourself and your kid. This right is vested in you under section 125 Cr.P.C.

Diovrce is not necessary for filing for maintenance.

Now with respect to the custody of the Child, generally the rule as set by precedents is that until the child has attained the age of 5 the custody remains with the mother. After that the husband is required to file a case to get the custody and the court after looking for the better future of the child will grant the custody accordingly.
