Dear Client,
Information is insufficient. What is your husband and what are you. Whether both are employees. Then what is your salary and what is his salary. You can file maintenance case for you and your kid without filing for divorce. Court will see what is your salary and what is your husband`s salary and whether you are not in a financial position to maintain you and your kid. After taking all the circumstances and living conditions social status, you will be granted maintenance for you and your kid. Take expert legal advise after furnishing detailed information. Engage an expert advocate. Legal expenses will depend upon the experience and expertise of advocate who deals your case.

Madam,

Yes. You can claim maintenance for yourself and your kids from your husband without filing for divorce. The cost to file a maintenance case is minimal and the lawyer's fees will depend on the lawyer you are going to engage. File the maintenance case in the jurisdictional family court where you are presently staying.
