• Need advice against non-trustworthy wife

I have a son of 1.5 yes old my wife is staying at her mothers house since last six months we have already tried to bring her back but whenever we went to their house they insulted me and not allowed to meet my son, they have taken sympathy of society by putting wrong allegations. I don't trust her any more and want to end themarriage , I want to meet my son and nurture and secure him for his future. There are no criminal cases yet. I am afraid to go to her house as I am afraid that if I go to meet my son they will trap me for some or the other false complaint.

Kindly suggest what can I do now.

1. If you want to end the marriage then you are required to file for divorce, which you may do on the basis of marital cruelty by your wife.

2. To get your son you are required to file a case for child custody. As the father of the child you cannot be denied access to him.

You should record your conversation in which she made false allegation, refuse to live with you. false allegation and refuse to live without any reasonable cause comes under matrimonial cruelty and this constitutes a valid ground for divorce. Mother is the natural guardian of child up to the age of 5 years if court satisfies that she is capable to take care of child otherwise father may get guardianship.

Hello,

1) As the marriage does not seem to be working the way it should be you should file for divorce to end the marriage legally, especially when all your efforts have failed.

2) You can file an interim petition for custody of the child and visitation rights.As the father of the child you have the right to get access to your son. As he is less than 5 years of age custody may not be granted to you now.

3) You can send a legal notice to her asking her to come forward to discuss for a petition for a mutually consented divorce to be filed.

Hello,

1) There is no bar to your filing for visitation rights without filing for divorce or restitution of conjugal rights.

2) Nevertheless it would be convenient if you club the cases together as all matters related can be sorted out at the same time.

1. You can file an application for child visitation alone,

2. Since she is abusive and not trustworthy, you should decide about your future and file a divorce suit simultaneously.
