Your husband is working or not doesn't matter, as he is well bodied person hence he has to fulfill his responsibility towards his wife and child. Definitely you will get maintenance. You can file 2 cases for maintenance where you would get residence order and also protection order. For further queries contact me...

Dear client
if the only motive to go to the court is to make ur husband earn then i will advice u not to file any case. Since I am into councelling as well, I can advice that there r other remedies for ur problem.
if u r not having any source of income n husband is dening to maintain financially to u n ur daughter then u can claim maintenance from ur husband.
