Filing for divorce as I love someone else and been seperated for 10 ye


27-Dec-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I live in Bangalore and my wife in Tamil Nadu We have been living away for 10 years. We have a 14 year old son. I visit them once in 5 months. Emotionally, physically there is absolutely no connection between us. I am now in love with another woman and want to marry her. My wife is not ready to give me a divorce. So the option of mutual consent seems impossible. 1) Is a contested divorce the only way? 2) Cruelty is the option I see to file a divorce petition. 3) Is loving someone else even acceptable by court as a reason for divorce?

no loving someone else is not a legal reason for divorce, but since 10 years your wife has been living separately you can file for divorce based on that, but get ready to pay for the alimony if you want a divorce and yes with your facts it looks it's gonna be contested

loving someone else is not recognised as a valid ground for seeking one-sided divorce. however since both of you are living separately from one another for the last 10 years, you can file for divorce from your present place of living that is Bangalore, you can contact me for further consultation.

The only option available to you is filing a case of contested divorce.

you need to explain more about your marriage as the advocate has to decide on what grounds the case has to be taken, and under what sections case has to be filed.

I will always suggest clients to give your problem to the advocate, and tell them this is the result you would require.

you can definitely get divorce from your wife. you need not tell the court about your love for another girl.

after divorce you can marry her
