Yes, you can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty and adultery. You are also eligible to claim alimony under Section 144 BNSS or Hindu Marriage Act. Property rights depend on ownership, his self-earned property stays his, but shared/marital assets can be considered. File through a family lawyer with your evidence.
