1) dont worry in DV case .

2) you have to contest case on merits .

3) the objective of DV is to enable parties to reconcile with each other

4) hence court will refer case for counselling .

5) file your reply to allegations made in complaint

6) make application for exemption for your parents and younger sister

You need to fight out the case strongly to prove case as false and frivolous in Dv also. if your wife is not working then court may order to pay maintenance to her and your child. It is not mentioned whether or not you want to continue your marriage. if you so desire, may offer her to comeback to avoid any adverse order in DV and other cases.

fight case on merits . both 498A / 406 and Dv cases . HC is generally reluctant to quash 498A cases unless allegations made in FIR dont satisfy ingredients of the offence . if settlement is arrived at 498A can be quashed

Since she is working in a good position and may be earning a handsome salary, court may not order you to pay her maintenance.
