1. The infidelity of your husband confers on you the right to apply for divorce. You will have to submit proof of his extra marital affair. If you do not have any proof yet then engage a detective agency to collect it. Once you have it in your hand then show it your lawyer and on the basis of his advice you may decide whether to file for divorce.

2. You may also prosecute him for adultery.

3. In addition to above, you may sue him for maintenance for yourself and your daughter.

1. If he is proved guilty then you may be given alimony by court. Numerous factors such as age, income of your husband will be considered by court before deciding the amount of alimony.

2. As per the existing law you cannot get any share in his property. You may move to court to get right to reside in your matrimonial home.
