If your son is already in your custody and the custody of the child is not claimed by your wife he will remain in your custody.

Increase the custody of the child is fought by the wife then you have all the right to contest that the the boy is getting better situation and maintenance including upbringing with you.

She have only one plus. That the boy is below 5 years of the age so it can be be in the custody of mother.

Under the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, the custody of all children below the age of 5 years is given to the mother. You can claim custody by showing how are u better equipped to take care of the children in all respects in comparison to the mother.

Dear,

Your child is below 5 years, so court not considered your matter.

The court will give custody of child to your wife only.

Only in 1 condition that if you proved in court that your wife ruin your child

life and bitten him, you have a chance otherwise not.

1) If your wife had left you means she has deserted you so how she is entitled for maintenance. If you can prove in the court that she had deserted you than you need not to pay any money to her.

See, your son will be with you only as per law just you need to prove in court you can take best care of him than your wife.

You shouldn't have filed RCR case instead deserted case should have filed if your fault was not there.

RCR is useless

Even if you get decree you cannot force your wife to stay with you

Withdraw RCR file for divorce by mutual consent

You can retain your son with you till your wife would not demand custody of child. However upto 5 years of your son absolutely custody right in favour of your wife.

If the child is with you then you do not have to file a child custody case, if at all your wife wants the custody, she may only have to apply for it.

The RCR case may not be very effective however you can use it as a shield to defend your interests.

Can I wait for decision on section 9 or what to do

I really wants my son should be with me

Until the court is passing any order on her petition seeking child custody, your son can remain safely with you.

However if she files any such case then you may have to challenge the same properly and get her case dismissed.
