sir to get maintenance without divorce you have to file case case under section 125 Cr. P. C. before the Family Court. In maintenance case you can also claim maintenance for your child as well. maintenance amount is dependent upon the income of your husband. you can also claim maintenance in domestic violence case.

A wife has a right alonwith her minor child to be maintain by her husband. If she chooses to file maintenance application under section 125 cr.p.c. then it is not necessary to file divorce. In this view it is advised that file an application under section 125 cr.p.c. which provides speedy process of maintenance.
