Child maintainance issue before divorce
13-Jul-2026 (In Divorce Law)
Background: 36F married to 37M. Husband's dependent parents caused severe marital strain due to lack of boundaries.
Neglect: Husband blamed me for all issues and neglected our daughter.
Separation: We moved into a separate house, which I funded entirely.
Current Situation: Due to ongoing abuse, I filed a domestic violence report. My husband has now abandoned the home, moved back with his parents, and is refusing to pay child support.
The welfare of the minor child is the paramount consideration. The husband's obligation to maintain his child continues irrespective of disputes between the spouses. The court may direct payment of monthly child maintenance after considering the child's educational, medical, and living expenses and the husband's income and financial capacity.

You may seek interim child maintenance and residence/protection orders under the law, as a father is legally responsible to support his child.
I can help you understand your legal options and the next steps to protect your and your daughter's rights.

Based on your facts, you may seek divorce on grounds of cruelty, claim child maintenance, residence and protection orders under the DV Act, and seek custody/visitation orders. Preserve all evidence and court records.
