You can claim maintenance even while living together if your husband is not adequately supporting you. File under S.125 CrPC or DV Act for yourself and your child. Court can grant interim maintenance based on his ₹50,000 income and your needs.

You can proceed to file an application for maintenance for your child as we as yourself. By virtue of filing the same, you can seek a direction from the Court for payment of maintainance. Feel free to contact me for seeking any legal advice/ assistance as regards the same.
