Hi

you should file for divorce on the basis of cruelty and desertion

Do you meet your son, how often you meet him and your wife.

Ask for the Permanent custody and for now the access to the child in the same Petition.

Since the child was living with her there is a chance custody can be denied to you

Immediately after the matter begins in the court file interim application for access right and seek for order to visit your son as you want.

Even if the custody ordered to her you should ask for access regular, visits and 15 days continuous stay with you when child has holidays .

You can also try and suggest for a Joint Parenting depending on the circumstances you three live,and the nature of the dispute with your wife.Many couple opt for joint parenting where both have equal right an liability and access, in which an agreement is signed regarding the schedule and terms of parenting and child can stay with both equal time.Then there is no custodian parent an access parent. This can happen if you bioth can reach to anunderstanding

This is the tough time in your life, Settle the matter amicably. What is the exact problem between you and wife for desertion ?

Fathers in India has to face a terrible truth that a minor child custody will be undoubtedly awarded to mothers, unless proven that she has neglected her child. Most fathers don’t want to confront the issue, not realizing that they put themselves in more vulnerable state and at loss during divorce proceedings, especially while fighting for child custody and support.Divorce advice for fathers is not about finances or managing their personal post-divorce life, but for their ability to deal with being a father after a divorce.

WELAFRE OF THE CHILD is the paramount consideration of the custody of child. Physical child custody means that one parent is held primarily responsible for the child's housing, educational needs and food. In most cases, the non-custodial parent still has visitation rights

Hi, you have to file a petition for divorce on the ground of desertion as you have stated she is deserted more than 7 years so you have a good case on merits and court will grant divorce on the ground of desertion.

2. You have to file a petition under Guardian and wards act for custody of the child.

You can ile a divorce case seeking dissolution of marriage by a decree of divorce on the grounds of cruelty and desertion as well as non-cohabitation. You can also file a petition under guardians and ward act seeking child custody and in that itself you can file an application seeking visitation rights as an interim relief.
