Divorce petition and maintenance


14-Jan-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I have been living separately in my parents since last one year due to my husband's ill behavior and mental harassment. He has not paid me in any maintenance during this period. We have a daughter of 3-years old who is staying with me. Is it possible to get maintenance from my husband now or till the divorce proceedings is complete? I am not working & have no income as such.

one should never file divorce petition until and unless maintenance order is secured and most importantly if after getting maintenance order husband doesnt pay, husband can be jailed too, strategically one should move ahead instead of filing series of cases

you can get maintainance after the maintainance order is passed by court so what is the stage of your order now if husband doesn't give maintainance he may get punished too... what is your jurisdiction....

being an spouse you may claim maintaiance at any time before or after divorce. for yourself and for daughter too. if he fails to pay the amount of maintaiance, u may claim your rights over his property to recover your maintaiance amount
