I have filed divorce against my wife in April. The first hearing is in June. My wife and i are not living under the same roof for the past 3-4 weeks. Can my wife file a DVA against me before first hearing of divorce case even if we dont live under the same roof? if so on what grounds? Do i have immunity from a DVA case once the hearing of my divorce case begins? As a male do i have provision to file DVA on my wife (given that my divorce petition itself is based on cruelty by wife and her family members
