your wife wont permit you access to child without court orders . if you want to keep your child for 2 weeks or so you need court orders to that effect . you can talk to your wife to convert existing divorce case to divorce by mutual consent
Thanks for your prompt reply and giving advice for my quires How long it will take me receive court order. when i filed divorce case it took me two months serve the summons to my wife and date is giving so long from the for each summons. If she is not obey court order for the custody of child means. many time she is black main me as she will make suicide and many she cut her hands with blind or broke bangles cut from that. In this situation what can i do?

u have to handle the issue very sensitively, without court order it will be problem for visiting ur children
Sir, Whether applied for child custody will i get the court order immediately or it will take time. whether it is possible my wife can take care of one child and i can take care of one child. When my divorce end with Ex parte then my wife can reopen the case again.

it takes time . court will ask your wife to file her reply to your application for custody of children . then place your application for arguments . it may take around 6 months . . if exparte decree is passed your wife can file appeal against said order .
if my wife arguments for application then i can get visiting or custody of child like 1 or 2 weeks while the case is running for custody. since my wife playing game with me by having the child in her control. Because the 2 childrens are kids. due to this i am feeling lonelyness, even my parents stayed with me also and i am unable to concentrate any where in work.

you can request court to grant you visiting rights as you havent seen your children for nearly one year . court will consider your request and pass appropriate orders . chances of getting 2 weeks custody are remote as your children are too young and need their mother . try to reconcile with your wife in counselling
Here her brother and entire family is making a problem and they making more aggressive . if i took my child without the court order to my place then what will the problem i face. due this i am really mad over and i am thinking do any thing for family member wrong. Sorry don't make mistake has i am asking many questions.

You can file a police complaint to the nearest police station in case she is torturing you. Do not be tempted to bring your child without a court order. Such an act will disqualify you from claiming the visitation or custody of your child ever in future. If your wife is not appearing in the court then the court will sooner or later decide the case against her by closing her right to defence. In order to get the child custody you need to file a separate case for custody. The court may indeed allow you to keep the child with you on weekends.
you should maintain your cool . dont loose your temper . dont be provoked by your wife and her relatives . file case for custody of your child . engage a local lawyer . court will consider your request .

Thanks Manjunathan M
Asked 10 years ago
she can file complaint under dowry prohibition act if any dowry was demanded before during or after marriage . i hope you have obtained receipt for all the jewelry taken by your wife
Dowry harassment case can be filed notwithstanding the fact that you have already applied for divorce.
she have took all his jewels then how can she file dowry harassment case. if she filed dowry case how i can prove that i have demanded her any dowry. we have tooked all marriage expense for that they given only RS 40000 for marriage purpose it also most took 3 lakhs for marriage. if she file dowry case i can prove that.

You will get sufficient opportunity to prove the falsity of her allegations. Your defence will be chalked out by your lawyer after perusing the allegations leveled by her. Apply for anticipatory bail as soon as the case is lodged lest you are arrested and put behind bars.
Many time my wife black main me she will get suicide for small issue or silly matters and many time she as cut her hands with blade or she broke the bangles from her hand and then cut her hand. for this situation whether i can complaint in police against her like is black main me for silly matters.
Asked 10 years ago
yes you can.
next time wife tires to commit suicide you can lodge police complaint that she has tried to commit suicide . it is an offence punishable under section 309 of IPC . it is advisable to consult a psychiatrist as your wife needs treatment of her suicidal tendencies
