How can I file for a divorce without my partner's consent?
11-May-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I've been married for 22 years and since the very first year of my marriage I've been beaten and abused by my husband and partially by his family. I shifted with my old mother because I recently lost my father so it was hard for me to live in that atmosphere. I asked my husband for financial support only for my basic needs but he refused. Rather, he started harassing me by posting foul things about me on Facebook and making fake accounts with hideous posts. He's trying to ruin my image in front of my friends through social media. My husband would occasionally call/text me and send me foul messages or threads. I asked him to file for a divorce if he cannot stand me at all but he refused. My children are with my husband because they have their exams and I don't have enough money to help them, but he would even go on harassing and beating my elder daughter because she supports my decision of staying away from him. I want to file for a divorce but I'm scared that it might cost a lot.
absolutely not. you can file contested divorce if you husband is not agreeing for mutual divorce. it will not cost you as such and you also can file case before appropreate court for maintenance and cost of the cases.

sorry to hear of the ordeal that you are going through. but im glad to inform you that the government do provide for free legal services to people who are below poverty line as well as to women. hence you may consult the district legal services authority to avail the free service.

Before divorce you can file cases against him for domestic violence both at the police station and in your local court and also claim maintenance for yourself. You can file a contested divorce application and claim maintenance in the said case also. Even you can file a complaint on behalf of your daughter if needed.
