Husband after absconding did not care in anyways for schizophrenia child who is 22 years old now. Now husband wants share in property without wanting to give any maintenance for son.

You can deny his property claim if it’s in your name. His long absence and neglect weaken his rights. File for maintenance for your son under Section 125 CrPC or Section 20 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act.

Q: Process for filing a divorce and settlement options.

I want to file a divorce with my wife. Religion - Hindu. 18 years of marriage, we have been staying separate in the same house for 2 years now. Want to know the process involved. What could be the settlement options. We have a boy who is 9 years old. I am ready to take care of the child expenses like education and extra curricular.

Advocate Mrunmayi Kotawadekar answered
You can file for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act. Opt for mutual consent divorce as it’s quicker and amicable. You may agree to bear your child’s expenses, while custody usually stays with the mother. Contested divorce is longer and costlier.
