You can file a maintenance case both under Hindu Marriage Act as well as under Sec 125 of CrPC. Your husband can't escape the responsibility. You will certainly succeed. THANX

File a maintenance application under the Domestic Violence act and i am sure the Court would pass some appropriate order in your favour.
the father is duty bound to maintain his son till 18 years of age and even after that he is bound to support him in his studies. you may file a petition u/s 125 of criminal procedure code.
IF u r earning, then it may also create some problem in maintenance for you but first of all file case in the name of your son and demand maintenance for your son. Then take another steps.
Good luck.
your sister can approach the court for maintenance
section 125 of crpc
