Maintenance

Husband has not been appearing in the court proceedings

My marriage is 14 years old. I filed a case under the domestic violence act for maintenance and protection order. In that complaint I also asked for a residence order in the shared household. My husband never came to court. Court has passed a maintenance order. Now my husband is not paying rent or paying anything to me.  And has run away. I’m unaware of his whereabouts. What can be done?

This is a very strange situation and I am facing a lot of problems due to paucity of money. please help and suggest in this situation what I should do?
