the complaint under domestic violence act needs to be decided within 60 days but as the courts are over burdened with work, the matter gets delayed. you may ask your lawyer to press for early disposal of complaint and grant of orders at the earliest. is there any child? your divorce case is at what stage?
plz also tell us in DVA what is ur demand. Only accommodation or maintenance also.

The DVA case has practically concluded in your favour since you have already got an order for shared residence. The recovery of your balance istridhan will not take long. It appears you are on right path. Good luck. !
