you may get the residential orders as your husband is staying with his mother so that house is your matrimonial home within the definition of shared household. unless they are ready, the statement of compromise should not come from you as it may affect your case and weaken it. there are numerous reliefs that you can claim under DV act including return of your stridhan.
