• Problem with wife

I have seperated from my parents because of continuous arguments with my wife. Now I want her to do job so that she can also share expenses of our new house (because I wanted to shift to other area where rent is low but she wanted to stay in costly area). Earlier I used to live with my parents so I never had to pay so much expenses. Further I also want that I should take my child to my parents home on weekend but my wife argue with me and asked me to spend half of the time on weekend with her. 
Can I ask my wife to do job and support for expenses 
Can I go to my parents in weekend with my baby
Is it compulsory to devote half time to my wife

Yes you can ask her to do job but court or law cannot help in this you cannot force her for the job.

See you can to your parents house and it is not necessary to devote her half weekend there is no written law on same you have to do this based on your mutual understanding.

Dear Sir,

 

The Law is silent on the questions that you have asked and I would really suggest you to sit with your wife and come to a amicable solution like you can visit your parents along with your child on alternate weekends and like this. 

I would also like to suggest that it is the high time for you to sit and talk with your wife on problems arising in your matrimonial life otherwise such pity things would end up on big quarrels .

 

Wish you a happy marriage life

 

Thank you

 

Regards

As per law, you cannot legally force your wife to work and share the household expenses. 

You can take your child to your parents house on weekends.

This is my response to you:

1. You are not yet facing a legal problem;

2. You must approach a marriage counsellor;

3. You can also approach a financial planner to discuss your issues;

4. Only if the disputes reach a stage where it cannot be settled between yourselves then you must take legal help.

All these issues what you have raised as queries are not having any legal provisions, these are trivial issues which can be sorted out locally by talking to her. 

If she is not listening to your polite requests, you dont have to take her permission, you may proceed as per your desire and decision. 

She cannot object to your decision to go to your mother's house at the same time you cannot compel her to go for any employment.

Spending time with your wife is your decision, nobody can force you on it.

Their is no law to bound your wife to work or stop you from taking your child to your parents house. It seems their is a lack of understanding between you & your wife. Try to maintain a cordial relationship & ask her to respect your feelings and d right of the grandchildren to meet their grand parents. Being a mother too she should understand your situation. As far as d financial concern hatch up a talk with her & make her understand your financial problems. May be she might have a better way out

You can visit to your parents house along with your child for that no one can stop you doing that for any numbers of times in week days and week ends as well.

 

But for forcing wife to go for work that you can't do it without her wish.

Dear client 

Yes you can ask her to do job but it is her choice as she want to do job or not because it's her right to live life as she wants and you cannot force her to work.

Yes you can take your baby to your parents house every weekend as it is your fundamental right to live your life as you want and also it is not compulsory to spend half of the time of weekend with your wife.
