defamation cases can be filed and even if such is taken cognizance still the highest court has stated that husbands have to pay alimony to their cruel wife and a flat too, there is a specific judgement to the effect so you need to tactfully handle this rather being aggressive

you certainly have a good case for going for contested divorce. as far as alimony and maintenance is concerned its not possible to say any amount as it depends on lot of factors.
