He can file an adultery case against his wife. But he shall have proof for this. Consult a local advocate to file a case in the court. If he gets a divorce on the ground of adultery and his wife is living with another person, then he shall pay maintenance to his son.

Your friend has to contest the case and prove that she has deserted voluntarily to live with her boy-friend.
It is better to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for appreciation of facts/ documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

A friend in need is a friend in deed. Living with a friend does not constitute 'Adultery' unless they have sexual intercourse. Even having intercourse only is not sufficient to constitute offence of adultery. The easiest way is to settle the matter amicably.
Law neither enforce wife to live with husband nor provide divorce just by asking. Divorce decree is not readily available in court rooms. It is granted when almost half of the age finishes in Court Dates.

If he has substantial evidences for acts of adultery then he can very well file a contested divorce case on the grounds of adultery.
In the maintenance case, he can repudiate her claim stating that she voluntarily abandoned the matrimonial home for the reasons known to her and she lives an adulterous life hence she is not eligible for maintenance.
You may ask your friend to discuss at length with a local advocate and ask him to proceed as suggested.
