Hai, First dont take such advises from here and there, be sure that u get the right prescription. For ur query, it seems u r being mislead by some. Alimony, divorce and maintenance are different things. U can claim all the reliefs in a single petition or can even claim those in different ones. Ur query says that u would like to live with him even now. it better not to make big allegations and since u got a kid to raise u need to be caution is making a claim. better not to harass him or to push him with unwanted arguments. I recommend you to file a maintenance petition before family court to start the things with less allegations against it, Its 100% sure that u n kid will get interim maintenance
