But whats the maximum time to get a divorce if i file 498 A and domestic violence act.

The domestic violence case is a criminal case after a complaint filed before the judicial magistrate court. The 498a case is a state prosecuted case which will come to the court after you have lodged a complaint with the police and they make an investigation, file charge sheet before the judicial magistrate court.

And he travels abroad a lot, incase i file a case than is there anyway to stop him to travel abroad

With the criminal cases pending against him, you may move an application to the judicial magistrate trial court for imposing condition on him to not to travel abroad permanently and without permission of court, so every time when he intends to travel t abroad he may have to file an application seeking permission of court to leave the country, at that time you can intervene and raise objections for his travelling abroad.
