Can i file for divorce if husband has a child out of marital bond
27-Oct-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I am married since Nov 2005 and 5 years ago I discovered that my husband was cheating on me and has a child with our house help. I have two sons aged 9 and 6 now but 5 years ago they were too young and I was financially dependent on my husband. And also I wanted to try to make my marriage work for my kids, so I stayed, however, he shows no improvement and continues to be an alcoholic, abuses me insults me etc. My house-maid contacted an NGO to settle the issue and I can get that as proof. My husband blackmails me that if I file for divorce he will prove me mentally incapable and take away my kids from me. What are my chances?
If you want divorce, court will grant the same to you, Court wont give custody to your husband without your consent, however he will get visiting rights.
You said you are financially depend on him, you can claim maintenance / permanent alimony in you divorce application.

madam in this case you can file a case for divorce on ground of cruelty and bigamy and further you can file a case for domestic violence and seek protection not to take away your child, as the kids or old enough even their consent is taken for deciding the custody of child and hence as your husband is drunkard, his character can help you and you will be having the custody of the child.
