If he has already planned to abscond, you will be left pondering what to do. If you have decided to file 498a, DV etc, your marriage is over. Think before filing such cases. Law will take lot of time to decide upon such cases. Moresoever arrest is not possible in 498a now. So your plans of getting them behind bars as of now are futile. One time settlement happens out of court, court wont intervene in deriving at a figure for one time payment, it depends on your greed and his willingness/capacity to pay money to you. But as you are describing that he has or is absconding, nothing much can be done than issuing NBW against him. You can do something if you have some address, the last found address will be of no use, police will keep enquiring about him at his last seen address, and one fine day he will be declared socially dead. After that on the basis that he is not be seen and found at all, you can utmost get exparte divorce. So plan accordingly. If you have his employers address, you can give application asking court to send summons to his employer, asking call of records regarding his employment status. Try approaching consulate/embassy with your problem. They will surely try to find your husband if properly pursued.
