you can file creation minal case as well as case under domestic violence act to get compensation and alimony from your husband, to which you can seek attachment of property belongs to your husband. residing in some other country is not a barrier.

first take a decision that you want divorce or not. if you want support from Indian legal system then choose Indian courts for getting the same. for getting financial support file maintenance petition for child and yourself from husband
