Before settlement of 498a you should settle the pending case in family courts if any.by taking the divorce or settle through out of courts.( by deciding to stay with husband) so 1st remedy is you should settle the family court case first.

Sir, you have mentioned that "stay away from them", it means that where there is no chance to reunite both husband and wife. At this stage, the wife have option to choose settlement by imposing reasonable terms and conditions like as permanent alimony or maintenance, mutual divorce, if issues are there, she can claim partition on behalf of childrens. You can contact me further details.

No procedure exists for settling 498A outside of court. For this, you must file a writ with the High Court. Section 482 Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 does not apply as that section gives no power to courts. However, under writ authority, High Courts can record compromises. Khula is settled with a one-time alimony.
