Can I file for divorce while living in the same house, who gets cutody


04-Mar-2023 (In Divorce Law)
We are Hindu. We have a daughter of 15 years. Sadly, me and my wife decided to part away. Question is where the kid will stay? Daughter wants to study in Mumbai but after separation, my wife wants to go back to her home at Kolkata. Second question: since daughter is appearing in board exam of ICSE. we are still living in one house although it is intolerable? Can we file the divorce petition while staying in same house?

Yes. Marriage Petition can be preferred by staying together and there is no any precondition of Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 that parties should stay separately. The requirement of Law would be no any cohabitation between both the parties and thus staying together in my opinion would not be the bar to file matrimonial proceedings on the grounds as contemplated in the said Act of 1955.

As you both have decided to be separate, till you both will be required one year for separation, up to that you can live in one house. You both are now to be matured,unfartunatly u are spoiling your valuable lives of both u due false impression or egos of about you selves, being human beings and not animal's it is your moral responsibility to care about your 14 year's tean aged girl child who is going to face her life's first hurdle being with in such condition with her you are considering about your egos, being a girl child if any cruel person like u take undue advantage of her, nothing win happen but she will spoil her life without seeing the world!why society should not file case on both of u for spoiling one innocent life. Your wife going back at Kolkata at her parents, whether they survey for their child for their full life.recent judgment of supreme court parents also right remove such children from their house.even court will also objections about your decision. ,sorry for giving straight forward decision.
