Re: family law

you can file a complaint under domestic violence act and claim right to residence, maintenance and compensation for mental trauma and physical hardships. you can state all your expenses viz. expenses for the baby, your own running expenses as per the standard of your husband. mind you, the complaint needs to be disposed off within 60 days and better insist of early disposal of the complaint. you may brief your lawyer in this regard.
