1. I am not sure the mode of payment through court of law..

2. 4-5 Lakh is much less amount in these days.hence ask for more.

3. if not then you may settle on this amount but he must pay this by cash or DD at the time of signing the mutual divorce petition.

Since they are not agreeable to permanent alimony your sister may file for maintenance for herself and her child. If your sister is not self sufficient then her husband is bound to support her financially. She can also file a DV case to seek separate accommodation at her husband's expense. Nothing stops your sister from unilaterally filing a petition for dissolution of matrimony.

1. Mother is the natural guardian of her child up to his/her 5 years of age.

2. So, no court will allow the said proposal.

3. Refuse the said proposal and inform them that you are agreeable for visitation right of your sister's husband but the child will be with her.

4. File a divorce suit claiming compensation, if mutual consent divorce on amicably settled terms can not be arrived at by and between both the parties.

It can be presumed from your contents tht you wanted to clarify about the child's care in the future when the child turns 18 years?

If that is the case it is going to be a mere agreement for the present.

Nobody has seen tomorrow.

Ask your sister to agree for the same for the present, the future issues can be taken care in the future when the time ripens.

Solve the issue amicably for the present , later on the developments and situations may change and you can take care of all such things then accordingly.
