How to proceed with child custody and divorce on grounds of harassment


25-May-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hello, We live in abroad and have been married 6years, and we have a 3 years old girl child. My husband is not interested on me and we are not in good terms from day1. Once in a blue moon he behaves like a typical husband. He doesn't spend some quality time with me and if I ask him, he says don't expect a fantasy or cinematic life and there is nothing to talk with you everyday. I also work and earn decent money in IT, but the kitchen duties are mine and he doesn't help or cook, it's not about cooking it's about spending some time in kitchen together. At the age of 28, I'm being treated as 50. Considering the family and society I waited for 6 long years hoping for a change in him. Is taking divorce a good decision or am I thinking wrong( it's his point, everyone lives the same you're expecting differently) Child custody( she is my life and I need her) We are already living separately under same roof for more than 3years. thanks in advance for your time and hoping for great advices

Hi
Though we agree with many of your views, it is recommended that both you and your husband go for counselling to revive your marriage.
It appears that your husband is a typical male egoist who thinks he is the bread winner and wife is the home maker.
Unfortunately for him, he needs to realise that times have changed and there are additional responsibilities he needs to shoulder and provide emotional, physical, material and mental support to his wife and daughter.
Our recommendation is that both of you should attend marriage counselling (with a counsellor of your choice) as counselling will definitely help both of you to revive your marriage. Even if you approach courts, courts will always refer you to mediation first.
Also in the interest of the 3 year old, please do attend marriage counselling as in our experience we have seen atleast 50% of the referred cases living happily ever after.

Hi,

It is difficult to advise on the best possible course of action without knowing the country you are living in and without knowing your religion you are following. Please revert back with specific details to receive proper advice.

Hi,
As per you points stated you are not happy with the marriage since 6 years. First of all you try to be good friend of your husband you try to go a extra mile to make things better and try to reconcile with him . Divorce must be the last option when all the options of reconciliation have been exhausted. If there is no co-habitation for one year and the husband neglects the judgment of maintenance awarded to the wife by the court, the wife can contest for a divorce. custody of child is if he files then it has to be contested and it can be answered if the child wants to be with you.Kindly contact us for any further details and action.
