Under Hindu Marriage Act for the marriage to be valid it has to be between two Hindus and you state you converted after the marriage?Need more clarity on the dates as the validity of the marriage could become an issue.Are you separated now? The procedure for a decree of judicial separation is almost same as that of Divorce ,it has to be filed in the family court .Depending on your facts better and faster option is to file in the magistrate court relief of protection( under which order restricting him from coming near your residence can be prayed for if he is violent) maintenance for self and children,Custody,compensation.

Dear client if she and boy are married with following all Hindu rituals then and if she have photos of marriage then marriage is legal . She can file judicial separation in court on the ground of cruelty.
