1) refuse to accede to in laws demands

2) wife forcing husband to stay separate from his parents amount to mental cruelty and is ground for divorce

3) since your child is young you may not be awarded sole child custody

4) seek joint custody of child

1. Your case has not gone out of control as yet. So take precious little measures to save your life now.

2.Try to keep your wife as far as possible from daily contact of her parents.

3.If possible go away where influence of her parents would be less.

4. Restrict the movement of your wife to her parental home to bare minimum.This would help you to be away from their daily interference.

5.If all of the options as mentioned above are not complied with then put a brave front. The more you get scared the more they will intimidate.

6. If they file dowry harassment case then there is nothing to worry as once you get bail which is very easy nothing remains in the case.

Do you presently have the custody of your kid? If the answer is in negative then you are free to file a petition for child custody in the guardian court under Guardians and Wards Act. In a child custody dispute the courts ordinarily lean in favour of mother, but if you can prove that you are better placed than the mother and also to secure the welfare of child then you qualify to get the custody. The paramount consideration in a petition for child custody is the welfare of child.

You should instruct your wife to not to spend on her brothers or parents, instead to spend something on the kids and save them for future.

You should sever all the connections with your in laws so that they do not interfere in your married life.

You should advise your wife to not to listen to their words or ill advice which shall not be good for a happy married life and if she is not listening the would like to proceed, then you can take precautions for obtaining AB and for protecting your interests.
