You may proceed for divorce and child custody..For divorce you must live separately for one year minimum. You must have reasonable reason for filing petition before honourable family court under section 13 (1) of HMA

You can file both divorce and maintainance case . But you should file only maintainance case under section 125 of Cr.P.C. and domestic violence along with a case under section 9 of H. M. A. 1955. And as u said ur child is living with u already then let ur husband file a case for his custody, as that is a different matter and covered under a different law.
