Hello,

Best option is to file a mutual consent divorce case. Otherwise if she does not agree for the same then you may file a case on the ground of cruelity.

Alimony will depend on the claim made by her and custody of child can also be decided mutually.

Firslty, the complaints which you have made are never useless as they would save you from further false allegations on you infuture by your wife.

Secondly, if you go for mutual divorce then you may have to pay a little more alimony despite the fact that she is also earning good.

Thirdly, I advice you to straight away file a divorce case on the ground of cruelity as what she does and says amounts to cruelity.

Fourthly, child custody may be given to her only, and you would also be asked to pay maintenane for the child, but yes you would be getting visiting rights for sure.

Rest, you are free to share anything in future.

1. You can negotiate with her for jointly filing mutual consent divorce petition on agreed terms which will be decided within 6 & 1/2 months from the date of its filing.

2. If she does not want to file MCD, you can file a divorce suit on the ground of cruelty and regularly giving the threat of committing suicide to husband has been considered as an act of cruelty by some High Court for granting the decree of divorce.

3. If while hearing the divorce suit, she agrees for MCD, jointly file an application treating it as MCD with a prayer to revert it back to the original divorce suit in case one party fails to turn up on the day of the 2nd motion to be fixed for hearing the MCD.

If she is agree for mutual divorce, then first enter into a memorandum of settlement in which you can mention all the terms and conditions as per both the mutual wishes, then file the mutual consent divorce. Otherwise you need to file the contested divorce, which will depends on many factors.

See mutual consent divorce is fastest and best way to divorce as in contested divorce under section 13 hindu marriage act it can take long time to dispose the case and can create legal Hassel.

So it is better to enter into an agreement of mutual consent with your wife deciding her alimony and maintenance alimony.

See in case you go for contested divorce there can be problems as wife can wife false domestic violence cases, secondly it will take lot of time, thirdly legal fees and other cases like child custody and maintenance will be there.

As a lawyer, it is desirable to suggest to you to understand the futility of long drawn litigation and thereby you should proceed towards mutual consent divorce.

As per law, duration/time of obtaining mutual consent divorce is six months.

If your wife during the same, you can file for contested divorce on grounds on cruelty by wife.

Threatening by wife to file false cases against the husband or suicide threats amounts to cruelty against husband and is a ground for divorce.

So, it's advisable that you file for divorce due to aforementioned grounds, if things don't get settled mutually.

If she is agreeing for mutual consent divorce, you may proceed with it, even if she withdraws her consent midway, you may file a contested divorce thereafter.

The flats owned jointly will be held jointly hence you may make an arrangement for dividing the same one each by each other executing registered gift deeds to each other on one another property.

Take one flat and given one to wife. You can execute relinquishment deed. Prepare mutual consent petition write all the terms and conditions of divorce and give it to your wife for signature rather than thinking, whether she may agree or not. You will get to know.
