Dear,

If your wife is also ready to do the same thing, then it's easy for you to take divorce

from her, for this file a mutual divorce petition in court and after that court will allow

you both to take divorce.

or if she is not ready then file a application in court for divorce on the account of

mental, physical cruelty from your wife on you.

But main question of custody of your child of 7 month old.

So this will not go in your favor, because below 5 years of age child custody

should be remain with mother only.

See before taking the step of divorce you can once try to resolve with help of family elders and if needed help of counsellor.

Then there are two ways divorce can be taken if your wife agrees then under section 13 B Hindu marriage act by mutual consent if she does not agree then you have to file a divorce on ground of cruelty by wife by separating from parents and other things.

See in mtual divorce if wife agree to give you custody then you can get custody otherwise for child such tender age below wife is generally given to mother for care protection of child but in case you prove before court that mother is not competent to take care and welfare of child is at risk then custody can be given to you.

1) Custody of child will remain with mother till the child is minor age, as mother is the best natural care taker of a child.

2) Regarding divorce I don't think this is a valid reason for divorce and court will alos not listen or agree on such type of reason.

Hi

File 13A HMA petition for seeking divorce.

I would advise you to try making her understand rather than going for divorce.

Rest depends on your choice.

1. "Not listening to yourself and also she not going to your parent's house." is not all that strong ground to seek decree of divorce from the Court of law .

2. It will be prudent on your part to try to convince her about your issues and settle the matter amicably keeping in mind that divorce is the second most stressful event in one's life.

3. However, if amicable settlement is not possible, ask her to sign a mutual consent divorce petition which will,be decided with in 6 & 1/2 months from the date of its filing.

4. If she does not agree for MCD, then file a divorce suit on the ground of cruelty after collecting evidence of her cruel actions.

5. Mother is considered as the natural guardian of her child up to his/her 5 years of age for which you are not likely to get his/her custody at this point of time.

The child custody shall be with the mother til the the child turns 5 years old.

However the father can get visitation rights even though he can file a petition seeking child custody.

If you do not want to divorce her you can file a petition seeking judicial separation under section 10 of HMA,
