1.    As soon as DV Complaint is filed against respondent husband, he should leave the shared accommodation and seek rented accommodation and offer that rented accommodation to aggrieved wife (Complainant).

2.      If the shared accommodation is registered in your mother’s name (her MIL’s name) then your mother (her MIL) can seek a injunction order in a civil Court based on ‘domestic harmony getting disturbed if such rights is allowed to a DIL'.

3.     One can offer Rent in lieu of shared accommodation to aggrieved wife (Complainant). 

4.  One can also constest the relief based on education - income capacity of aggrieved wife (Complainant).

5.       Discuss – explore above options with your Advocate.

Regarding shared household, do a google search on "domestic violence" "Batra vs. Batra" and you will get the relevant Supreme Court judgement that you can use to show that your wife has NO RIGHT of any kind in your mother's home even though she may have lived there and continues to do so. I would not advise you to incur additional monies in renting a new place. First, it will set a precedent that can and will be used against you in the future. Second, can you afford it? Third, she will get a psychological advantage... She will start making other demands knowing that you are afraid of her cases. 

Let the case go on... Emphasize her qualifications and experience and show that she is capable of earning. Do the reverse for yourself... that you are not earning a lot.  Show that you have a place with your parents and see no reason to incur additional expenses to rent another and that she is welcomed to stay there. Make all efforts (ON PAPER) to get her back so that you can at some point in the future show that she has deserted you. Show that you are suffering from mental pains because she has deserted you. Go to a Psychologist, get some prescripttion, etc. Keep all records. 

Be confident and that confidence must ooze out of you in her presence. In DV cases, jo daraa vo maraa.

Point no 5 is that if she is a able bodied working women drawing a sufficient income and with a Housing rent allowance than it can be argued and she can be denied shared house hold .
