If you feel depressed and disturbed over your matrimonial life and indifferent behavior of your wife and feel that it will not be possible for you to continue the relationship anymore, you may decide to file a divorce case on the grounds of mental and physical cruelty by relying upon the documentary and other evidences to support your pleading.

You may file a child custody case also simultaneously.

if due to provocation she resorts to lodge criminal complaint on some false and flimsy grounds agaisnt you before the concerned police station, you may first obtain AB and then challenge her false case in the trial court properly.

1. You are free to file a petition for dissolution of marriage as the conduct of your spouse amounts to mental cruelty. Be prepared thought to face cases of domestic violence and 498A in return.

2. To get back your child you are required to file a petition for guardianship and child custody in the court. The only consideration for the court in a child custody dispute is the welfare of child.

1. If she is causing tortures to you as you have stated then you can file suit for divorce on the ground of mental cruelty.

2. if the Children remains with you then there is no requirement for custody order. Otherwise you will have to file for the same and seek custody or visitation order.

3. it is wrong to say that law does not help men. There is special law for women but that does not mean that the men does not get justice from court.

4. i would suggest you to give one final try to work out the marriage. Only as a last resort you go for divorce.

She has to file a transfer petition before supreme court for getting this case transferred to her own native state

For your child education, you may have to follow it properly.

The court will hear both the sides and decide the case.

If you are aggrieved by the trial court's order, you can prefer an appeal before other high court.
