I am a victim of domestic violence

you can always opt for separation through a decree of mutual divorce.
your daughter will not have any role to play in this because she is just a child.
if he does not want to separate peacefully you can file a divorce case and get a decree through the court.
for further queries please feel free to contact

You need not file a 498a case against your husband but you can always file a DV case against him and claim your monthly maintenance and separate residence. You can also file a mutual divorce petition if the situation is worse. You have got so many options. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

Mam,
You can tell him that you will give a mutual divorce if he gives you alimony. But if you give a mutual divorce then you can't file police complaints against him in future.
If you want to file complaints then don't give him mutual divorce.

We have carefully perused the contents of your query and would advise you to seek a detailed consultation from a lawyer having expertise in matrimonial cases. You have certain legal remedies to avail apart from filing 498A. You need to initiate certain precautionary measures before initiation a legal case for which you would require an expert lawyer

you can go for mutual consent of divorce for peaceful separation .you have to put an amount of figure for permanent alimony for one time payment. If the amount is agreed by your husband only then you can go for mutual divorce or you can go for DV act to file case on maintenance and residence protection .
