Yes you can be entitled for maintenance even if you are employed. The court will decide and it will depend upon the salary of your partner. 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.

The question is that did your husband give divorce to his first file before marrying you ?
As you stated with him n this also comes under domestic violence n u can take maintenance n compensation. You can also file suit to declare this marriage null n void !
Plz b in touch u need to hire expert advocate in this case!
