Dear client if u file domestic violence case after gap of almost 4 years then it is not workable. Instead of filing domestic violence case file case for maintenance under sec 125 of criminal procedure code. For any legal help call me

You can file domestic violence case against your husband. And you can file interim application for maintenance. Domestic violence act is legislated only for the protection of women from domestic violence.
