Hello,

You have to file a divorce case along with maintenance and interim maintenance. And domestic violence case against your husband and his family. Moreover you have a daughter so he cannot take ur daughter away from u.

You can file a petition for divorce on the ground of cruelty and get divorce. Regarding permanent custody, you are already having custody so you need not file any petition. Also till your daughter is 5-6 years, the Court will not allow your husband to get custody of your daughter. So dont worry about it. You can file petition for Dowry harassment and Domestic Violence Act etc, if you are planning to apply for Divorce. Kindly contact me for a detailed discussion, so that I can give you a clear advice and further guidance.
