Would advise you to seek a detailed legal Consultation on the Subject matter from a lawyer having expertise in matrimonial matters. Do brief the lawyer about the facts and seek his considered opinion. Facts varies from case to case. There are certain legal options which you can explore.

If the behaviour of your husband is intolerable towards you can anytime send a complaint regarding your grievances in writing to the police station according to your jurisdiction. And if you wish to go legal then you can also file a petition under section 12 DV or section 125 CrPC and claim maintenance for yourself. And if there's no scope of living together then rather stretching the relationship you should file for contested divorce under the ground of cruelty. I would suggest you to go with mutual divorce because it's cost effective and ends up in a maximum of six months. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

In such a situation you can certainly opt for divorce. However it is always advisable to plM and strategize your matrimonial cases before filing any case. Maintenance case et al. should precede divorce, until and unless you are looking for a quick exit. In case if you are looking forward to precise and timely resolution you can connect with us.

Ma'am, it is quite apparent that he is not interested in mutual divorce. I see that you have mentioned that he's not maintaining you. There are several ways you can make him maintain you, but I would suggest you file a petition under Sec. 12, PWDV Act, 2005, wherein, you can get expeditious trial and get your maintenance granted in a very short span of time and simultaneously you should file a contested divorce case against him based on the ground of physical and financial cruelty. I wish you all the best and hope you get the justice you so rightfully deserve.
