• Regarding school details

I have filed for restitution of conjugal rights against my wife in 2022. I filed for GWOP in 2024 since my wife denied any contact with my daughter apart from visitation in court which was done on mutual consent. I have been paying her school fees etc through the school app all these years voluntarily. Last year she changed her school without my knowledge and denied access to school app or anything related to my daughter’s education. Now she is asking for school fees to be sent to her and she will credit the same to school. When I requested access and information about school she is denying by saying school policy doesn’t allow access to two parents. I visited the school and got common access for me and paid the fees also through the application. One week she dint do anything but suddenly she went and changed the password in the school by claiming that she has filed for divorce and my daughter is with her and she is a single mother and I should not get any access and since visitation is allowed I should not interfere in any other information about my daughter. Also she is claiming it as school policy . My daughter is 8 years old. And she is sending mails about legal actions against me if I try to get access again. Should I again visit the school and get a separate access for me and can the school deny access believing her statement. Is there any legal provision/ sections under which I can go to court and get any orders based on this. There is no restraining order or anything of that sorts against me. Please enlighten on this matter.

Mere filing of divorce does not make your wife the only legal parent for school matters. As a Hindu father, you remain a natural guardian, and the Family Court can pass interim orders for the child’s welfare and access.

In your pending GWOP, move an interim application asking for separate school access/login, report cards, PTM notices, fee details, and an order restraining unilateral blocking by the mother; this can be sought under the guardianship proceedings itself.

The school may act cautiously in a dispute, but the safest and quickest solution is a specific Family Court direction to the school and the mother.

You can seek order from court seeking access and other rights as you are paying fees for the daughter. She can’t deny the same to you as you are her father and custody is not a sole custody with her
