If she wants Divorce she can file for Divorce and other reliefs under DV act one sided but she should have his address at his native place for the summons to be served.A legal notice to be sent before filing for Divorce is not mandatory.

If FIR has been recorded it is very good. Depending on the tenure of marriage we can try to file 498A through a private complaint. At the same time we should file domestic violence in magistrate court and divorce in family court. Please get in touch with more details.
