you may file a complaint under Domestic Violence Act and for your stridhan and jewelry, you may file a complaint before the crime against women cell. for the maintenance of yourself and your son, you may file a complaint u/s 125 of criminal procedure code and the at the same time, defend the divorce petition filed by him.

First and foremost question here is that what exactly you want. If you also want to go for divorce but after getting maintenance/alimony then either go for mutual divorce/contest the case and then give divorce.

But if you dont then file Sec. 9 of Hindu Marriage Act.
