See first your son can file a restitution petition if he wish to continue the marital life in case he does not wish to you don't have remedy to file any case on her or.cannot force her to reconcile with the son. So your son has to take step.

Further since custody of.child is with you , you can continue with same.

See since child is with you and further child is.ordinarily residing with you you continue with the custody.and in case daughter in law goes for custody you can contest same and keep the custody.

Further see you should  try first talking to son and daughter in law should mitigate there differences ask them to take counselling for marriage and to try further

 

Further if that is not done you can ask your son to file restitution but see they both only have to take steps you can contest the custody of child though.

Father is the natural guardian of the child. This is the legal position, so your​ son has a strong case for guardianship rights of the child. Kindly consult me further and seek appointment by calling me

Basically, you cannot claim any rights over your granddaughter especially when her biological parents are living and are at loggerheads.

If your son is not taking any interest towards his daughter's welfare you cannot interfere in it.

They both hav to resolve their dispute by getting into an amicable solution or by approaching court of law for legal solutions.

Don't worry about her threats for false DV case, you can challenge them once it is filed on merits and documentary support.

This cannot be solved by interference of parents of either side because no consensus will be arrived if both the sides try to explain their own justifications.

If the situation is not under control then the matter may be referred to mediation or before a marriage counselor.

If no solution is arrived in the counseling also then the next alternative is to approach appropriate court of law for relief and remedy.

Dear Sir,

Before issue ripens it is better to issue a strong legal notice through an experienced advocate bringing everything on record about her character and see that she may change her attitude in future failing which her husband may go for divorce which is easily available on the production of marriage card/marriage certificate and date of birth of child. This divorce will be available without any alimony. Let the other side know about her rights in your family.
