It is easy to advice, than to follow.
In matrimonial matters, it is better to get the matter settled amicably.
Take your Husband into your confidence and try your best to sort out the problems.
As far as maintenance is concerned, you and your child are eligible to get maintenance and your Husband is liable to maintain both of you.
If you are qualified and can support yourself, then then quantum / maintenance may come down accordingly or you may not get maintenance (based on parameters specified by law - if your case falls under it, then same applies to you)
Legally:
You can file application for maintenance for you and your child.
You can also make a complaint with respect to Domestic Violence, but be CAUTIOUS, it does more harm than good. Be careful, before going ahead with such complaint.
It will most probably strain your already strained relationship.
Be careful and take a call.
Good Luck

You can get maintenance after your divorce has been finalized as per S.13 HMA. But in any case you can also move the court for interim maintenance u/S 125 CrPC. I would also suggest filing a police complaint u/S 498-A IPC since you have been a victim of domestic violence.
If you find my answer helpful then kindly rate me.
As per your narration, it seems that you have been subject to domestic violence at the hands of your in-law. You can consider filing a police complaint u/S 498-A IPC for the same. If you are considering divorce then file a suit before the family court u/S 13 HMA. It is only after the divorce will your husband be liable to pay you maintenance as per S.125 CrPC.
If you find my answer helpful then kindly rate me.

If you are being tortured and harassed by your in-laws then you can file a case of Domestic Violence against them at the same time you can also file a case of maintenance against your husband for yourself as well as for your child even when you are staying with your parents.
You can also read more about maintenance in the following two blogs;
