Hi
Since you have been residing away from your husband for such a long period, you can file for divorce on the grounds of Desertion .
Regarding your rights such as maintenance and alimony, we need to know the reasons for such long separation period
( example: if you were driven away from matrimonial home by your husband then you can claim maintenance and alimony)
If you have children born out of the marriage, minor children are entitled for maintenance
