Dear client,

I'm really sorry to hear about the difficulties you're facing in your marriage. It sounds like a very challenging situation for you and your children. If your wife is showing violent behavior towards you and your children, your first priority should be to ensure everyone's safety. Domestic violence is a serious issue that requires immediate attention. You might want to consider seeking help from professionals or support services specialized in handling such situations.

I'm really sorry to hear about the difficult situation you're facing. In India, divorce laws fall under the Hindu Marriage Act, the Special Marriage Act, and the Indian Divorce Act, depending on the religious affiliations of the couple. For a mutual divorce, both parties need to agree to the terms of the separation. If your wife is willing to agree to a mutual separation, you can file for a mutual divorce under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, which requires both parties to have lived separately for at least one year before filing the petition. However, if your wife is not cooperative and is showing violent behavior, it's crucial to prioritize your and your children's safety. In cases of domestic violence, you can seek legal help and protection. It's essential to document instances of abuse or violence and gather evidence to support your case. This could include seeking medical help for any injuries, keeping records of abusive behavior, and gathering witnesses if possible. You can reach out to us for further assistance
