Custody of child for Father when case under HMA still going on
31-Jan-2023 (In Child Custody Law)
Hello All, My wife has put section-9 (HMA) and section-24 (interim maintenance) against me. My wife is working and we have 1 daughter (about 4 years old). We have been living separate for about 2 1/2 years now. She is staying with her parents in separate city. None of us has filled divorce case so far. She has described me as a very cruel Father and a very cruel Husband in her petitions. She does not want to live with me and only wants good money in section-24 (interim maintenance). Does it make sense for me to apply for child custody at this point of time ?
You will first have to file your reply to her petition. Apart from this you can file for divorce on ground of desertion and then apply for child custody. As the child is a minor girl, the courts favour keeping her with the mother. So it is important to prove first that she is not a good mother.
Hello,
Your wife has filed 9 RCR against you, asking for restitution of her marriage while portraying you as a cruel husband!! This itself is a good ground for you for future reference. If she does not want to live with you and has filed 9RCR as a mere tactic then you too contest it with full spirit and do not file for divorce immediately. In case your wife is a working women sec 24 shall become a little tough for her use in her best interest in the light of the latest judgments. Yes indeed you may file a custody petition at any given point in time, especially considering that while contesting 9 RCR you may claim that instead she has left your company and has also deprived you of your child's company and hence u have a ground for custody amongst many other grounds. For further detail you may contact me.

For better advice you need to tell all the details responsible for this incidence along with working details of your wife and you . But in the present situation described by you it is better for you that you file a counter case under section 9 and 24 of HMA.
