1) your wife is highly qualified and has worked in past

2) wife cannot sit in home and seek maintenance from husband If she is highly qualified and worked in past

3) your son had no share in grandfather self acquired property

4) you can seek joint custody of the child . Since child is only four years old mother would get custody

1. You should inform the court that she voluntarily abandoned the matrimonial home which can be termed as desertion and since she is staying away on her own without any valid reason, she is not eligible for maintenance. You should express that you are ready to take her back even now if she is willing to rejoin, hence the IM petition is not maintainable.

2. Even you cannot claim a share in your father's self acquired property during his life time hence your son is not at all eligible to claim any such share not only in your father's property but even in your own property, hence you need not be worried about it.

3. You can quote that reason as the ground for seeking child custody.

1. To stop her from succeeding you have to prove that she left the home without any justified reason and moreover she has sound education qualifications to work and earn.

2. Your liabilities i.e parents have to be taken into account before fixing the quantum of maintenance.

3. During the lifetime of your father his son much less grandson does not have any rights in his property. Your father is free to make a will to devise the devolution of his property after his lifetime.

4. Depending on the provisions of criminal law slapped against your wife's family members you may maneuver this in your favour in the court.

The child is being sandwiched/suffer due to the egoistic attitude of the parents.

From your contents it can be seen that your wife rushed up to admit your child in a school more than one month ahead of you, whereas knowing about the fact of this admission well in advance, you have done this act deliberately. This is how she will project and present before court to counter your petition, if you file one in this regard.

The court may go by the evidences only and not be sentiments, so think what can be done next, better to leave the matter as it is and try admission next year.

1) welfare of child is paramount consideration

2) decision has to be taken by parents in the best interest of child education

3) in the event of disagreement between parents you should move court and seek orders to direct child be admitted in particular school

There can be no 'win' for anyone in this through the process of law. The parents have to mutually resolve this dispute as the court would not issue any direction to either parent to admit the child in a particular school.
