First of all you should engage a lawyer and brief him about your issue in detail and seek his considered opinion as to what legal remedies to explore and when. As of now, apparently you can file a Complaint under DV Act plus a maintenance petition. Further you can file a petition for divorce on the ground of cruelty.

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.

You have the opportunity to file for divorce along with claims for maintenance and a domestic violence case as a countermeasure. It is advisable to request a reasonable settlement in terms of divorce terms and seek custody arrangements for your child as well.
