the hubby would have to pay the maintenance as there is speci fic order. you may wait and watch. in case you want, you may show your case file to me.
If you are not interested in divorce, only the issue of 'domestic violence' remains which has practically been settled and may not take long to conclude. However, the litigation may continue for long if your husband seeks divorce.
