if you want to rejoin matrimonial knot, then, 

try to settle the matter amicably with your husband involving elders/relatives/friends etc and start afresh, and if, failed, file Restitution of conjugal rights petition in the Court,

and,

if you want to terminate the matrimonial knot, then,

try to settle the matter amicably with your husband involving elders/relatives/friends etc and go for Mutual Consent Divorce which will be decided in 6-18 months, and you both will be free to live life with your wish,

if failed, you are advised to file/claim

For maintenance for child than you have make application in the court for monthly maintenance for child under child welfare, and for you u/s 125 CrPC.


Maintenance orders under Section 125 can be heard only by the Judicial Magistrate of First Class. She can order a monthly allowance of maintenance that she deems just and fair. This is usually decided after considering the income of the person, the standard of living that is consistent with the status of the claimant and the separate earnings, if any, of the claimant. The maintenance must aid in ensuring the same standard of living for the claimant. It must neither be so plentiful that it tempts the claimant to rely solely on maintenance nor so pitiful that it pushes the claimant into vagrancy or a lower standard of living.

Maintenance is payable either from the date of order of payment or from the date of application for maintenance, depending on the court’s judgment of the cooperation and decent behaviour demonstrated by the parties.

Since you have been thrown out of your matrimonial home, you may very well seek maintenance for your child 

You may file a petition under section 125 cr.p.c. seeking maintenance for your child alone.

You may consult an advocate in the local and may even file a DV case seeking protection, residence, maintenance, compensation  and also return of articles.

You may even consider lodging a criminal complaint under section 498A IPC for cruelties and dowry harassment.

Yes, definitely you can claim for maintenance of your child from your husband in the Court. Before claiming you have to file a case against your husband either for Judicial Separation or divorce in the Family Court or District Court. After filing a case, then only you can claim for maintenance of your child from your husband.
