Try for alternate arrangements. Mediate between your families to understand the core problems persisting between both of you and take a final decision which will be beneficial to both of you in long term.

From the question that you have asked, it appears that you are apprehending/ imagining the situation. However, I will guide you as to what can be done if such a thing actually happens.

The wife can go in the Police Station and file a complaint against you u/s 498-A of the Indian Penal Code. In such a case you will have to approach the Court for Anticipatory Bail and then move for quashing or defend yourself in the trial.

Divorce proceedings are different and can run parallel to criminal proceedings .

Hi, your story is difficult to understand the problem between you and your wife. there are always normal disputes between all couples. Considering the tender age of your kids both of you have to sort out the differences amicably with the help of close relatives, well wishers and friends of both. If you do not want then you may file petition for judicial separation.
