File divorce case on ground of cruelty .

Your wife does not have any right to claim  any share  in your property.

She is not entitle to any share except maintiannce if she is not earning.

You can gift the property to your daughter, wife has no legal remedy and for about death threat, you can oust her from the house or desert her and arrange a rented accommodation for her and simultaneously can file for divorce on the ground of mental cruelty. Your daughter will be your best witness and evidecne.

You should just leave her along with your daughter and lodge an FIR against your wife in which complainant should be your daughter.

After FIR file divorce case on ground of physical and mental cruelty by your wife. 

No you are not bound to give any share to your wife from your property.

You can gift the property to your daughter and ask tenants to deposit rent in your daughter account.

she can only demand for maintainence, not more than that. Normally a minor child of below 7yrs. is kept with her mother's custody. In some exceptional cases father can apply for custody of such child before Ld. District Judge. Well being of the child is major factor for that decision of court

You can file police complaint and contested divorce against her. You are not bound to give her share but you need to give her maintenance for her and child. No she can't create any problem after court orders. You can also seek her custody from court

1. In this scenario the only remedy in your hands is to file for dissolution of marriage through a decree of divorce on the ground of cruelty.

2. Your wife has no share in the property during your lifetime. You may also execute a will in favour of your daughter to exclude your wife from succession.

3. Alternatively, you may also execute a gift deed in favour of your daughter qua the flat. In case of gift deed the title passes instantaneously from donor to donee.

4. Contested divorce never comes easily.

Before filing for divorce first make complaints against her in the police station that she is performing "attempt to kill" under criminal act. Your and daughter life is under threat, so you want divorce from her and make conditional WILL and transfer property on your daughter name and wife's name so she will act good against you and with your daughter. 

 

By atleast satisfy that property is on her name if WILL conditional is full filled.

Simply demanding share in property is not a ground for divorce. You have to prove the violence and threat by her to obtain the property .

Hi

File domestic violence case against your wife, before doing that, you collect substantial proofs of her acts / activities.

1) You can file for divorce under cruelty.

2) No you need not give share in your property to her.

3) You can support your daughter, it is your bounden duty to maintain her and take care of her necessities.

No, you don't gift the property to your daughter, for time being hold it.  She can cause problems to you not to your daughter. like filing false cases against you.  Take your daughter into confidence and her version may help you.

Once divorce application is filed, it takes on an average 5 years (subject to complications created by counter part)

1. You can file a divorce case and if you are scared of her activities and feel that there is a threat persisting on your lives, then you can leave your house and start residing away from her in a different place till the divorce is decided.

2. She is already trouble creator, hence she may create more problem to both of you, however she cannot legally claim any share in the property.

3.  You may choose to live separately away from her to avoid more problems.
