You are staying all alone since 2003 and have no marital relationship with your husband. Moreover he is not supporting you and your son in any way. The best way is to go for divorce and look forward in your life. You discuss the amount of financial support he can give in lieu of support and concentrate on future of your child. If satisfactory amount is settled then you can proceed with mutual divorce and step a head in your life.

Divorce can't happen on a piece of paper. Do not consider it divorce and got married again. You are cheated. File divorce case in the court on the ground of mental cruelty. This will be a contested divorce.
If she ignore it the decree will be passed ex parte. You'll get one.

Good luck.

Dear client,
In response to your queries i would say that divorce cannot be obtained by way of agreement or any other means save and except by way of decree of dissolution of marriage by the competant court of district judge and by no other means.
And unless and until you get a decree of divorce and if you are non-muslim you cannot marry any other person as it may tantamounts to Bigamy and punishable under law.

Hi.
Firstly no petition for divorce can be filed in the first year marriage. Thus a one year time gap is given in order to sort or solve things between the parties. From the limited facts it seems that it is a mutual want of divorce. Thus the procedures involved in getting a mutual divorce are as follows :
Steps involved :
Step 1. A petition for divorce has to be filed- a joint petition for mutual divorce had to be filed for dissolution of marriage which had to be presented in a family court, on the consented expression that both the parties had consented to end the marriage and had been living separately for a period of 1 year or more.
Step 2. - secondly the parties need to appear before tee Court and the examination of the documents takes place.
Step 3. - an order is passed for recording the statements on oath.
Step 4.- after the first motion is passed a period of six months is given before passing of the second motion
Step 5.- then there is a second motion and a final hearing takes place.
Step 6.- lastly the decree of divorce is being passed and granted depending on the wants, situations and circumstances of the parties.
