Hi

Tell your wife that you want the custody of your kids, if she wants divorce let her get divorce leave the kids to you.since your wife is demanding divorce, she might agree to leave the kids to your custody.so for the next date in the court that is on 01/03/2107 dont agree for the divorce. Before the date tell your lawyer that you want the custody of the kids and talk to your wife about it.

you should have insisted the custody your kids when you realized that your wife was with another man.

Now you have filed for divorce and have not asked for custody of your kids, so if you don't object the custody going to your wife the court will order the custody to your wife. so talk to your lawyer and make corrections in the consent terms , then only agree for the final order on 01/03/2107.

Your wife will agree to this if she really wants go away with the other man in picture.

Remember once the mutual consent is ordered , the custody will be specifically ordered to her in the final Decree and judgment, so then it will not be possible to change it.

so now you should take steps to have the custody of your children, don't agree for mutual consent divorce on 01/03/2107 , unless she agrees to your demands. when you dont agree for the final consent on 01/03/2107 the court will have to dismiss the petition.

If your wife files a case of divorce and custody later on interdependently when the present mutual divorce get dismissed due to the custody reasons, you can have the defense as she is having an extra marital relationship which is adultery as per law .when a woman lives in the adulterous relationship she has no right of seeking custody and maintenance.

1. Mother is the natural guardian of children up to their 5 years of age,

2. So, in normal course, your wife will get their custody,

3. However, welfare of the child is considered as of paramount importance while deciding about his/her custody,

4.So, in your case, if she marries her BF or starts living together with him, you can file a child custody application seeking their custody on the ground of their welfare arguing that their welfare will be jeopardised since their mother has married someone else and they will be better taken care of by their father who has not married.,

5. So, you can file the child custody case after availing MCD from the Court and waiting till she marries her BF or starts staying with him.

If you signed MCD petition due to family pressure then you may specifically or impliedly withdraw your consent and then file a petition for child custody. Once MCD is granted the issue of child custody will be sealed by the decree passed by the court. You will not be able to apply for child custody after the decree of MCD is lassed

You should enter into a MOU that the children shall live with you under your custody as a pre-condition to the divorce proceedings, or else you can withdraw the consent at the last moment and can seek child custody by filing a child custody case.

You dont agree to her condition that the children shall be with her parents, your children are to live with either of the parents.

1) you can with draw your consent for divorce by mutual consent as wife is not permitting you to visit your children

2) in case wife files false DV case contact a local lawyer and file reply denying allegations made in complaint

3) wife has no share in properties standing in your name

1. If she is not agreeing to your proposal to give the child to you then you can file a child custody case to retrieve your child from her possession.

2. The evidences of her in a compromise position with her boy friend shall be a clinching evidence however you may not be able to get them hence try whatever evidences you can procure to prove her adulterous life.

3. Let she file DV case you can challenge them in the court properly.

4. She cannot claim a right in your property nor a share in it.

1. As informed in my earlier post, mother will get the custody of child below 5 years of age unless faher can prove that his custody will be for the welfare of his child. So, for getting your childrens' custody, you shall have to prove that it will be for their welfare.

2. Evidence that she is staying with that person or is running a physical relationship with that man which is against the welfare of your children.

3. It appears that she has become desperate in her conduct. Try to audio/video record all such conversations with her.

4.Do not succumb to her presure in any way.

5. For the time being, you can file a petition praying for your child visitation right.
