Legal Question in Family Law in India
divorce,mantainance and accomodation
I was subjected to dowry torture
and my husband & his family drove me out from their house.
I filed a FIR under 498A .My
husband file a divorce petition
against me. So I filed a interim
mentainance & mentainance case
against him for last six month
without any result from the court.
After marriage i stayed in my
father in law house and some times with my husband in his
working place in official residence or rented house.
Wheather I can file a
separate petition demanding my
accomadation or share from his
residence ?

Yes you can. You should move separate application in the same proceedings and before the same court under the provisions of D.V.A.
