You can very well seek maintenance from him by filing a petition under section 125 cr p.c without filing divorce case.
You should not be employed or having sufficient source of income to sustain your expenses because that becomes the criteria for claiming maintenance.

You can file a maintenance petition under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, Section 144 which provides for the maintenance of wives, children, and parents. The key principle is that individuals with sufficient means who neglect or refuse to maintain their dependents (wife, children, or parents unable to maintain themselves) can be ordered to do so by a court.

EVEN IF YOU ARE EARNING STILL THE MAINTENANCE OF CHILDREN CAN BE CLAIMED.

Yes. Even the wife is an earning member, the children born out their wedlock can ask maintenance under BNSS. sec.144.
