No. One can not claim Divorce, Child custody and Alimony case in a single suit. But yes Alimany , complaint of harrasement and child custody can be claimed in one case i.e. complaint under Protection of Women from Domestic violence Act. But she has to file seperate petition for divorce.

If you want to file divorce then you can ask for injunction Regarding some issues apprehensive for property and also you can ask for visiting rights of your child and obviously for alimony u can ask for along with divorce Pettition BUT if child is with your spouse you have to file custody matter seprately to get permanent custody of child and also you can file interim application in that for visiting rights or injunction if you have doubt that your spouse can leave country or go away with child .

Your sister can file all suits together. She can proceed for divorce as well as claim child custody and maintenance as well. However, all cases would have separate identification and may be consolidated together on further request and convenience. Feel free to consult me.
