Hello,

Withdraw from the MCD proceedings and file for contested divorce under cruelty ground in the same family court. Your wife has to contest the proceedings and eventually you may get the divorce based upon your strong representation in the court.

Dear Client,
Whether you want to live with her or to live separately. If you want divorce you can apply unilaterally. But there must be grounds to grant order of divorce. What is the dissatisfaction that was caused by your wife. whether she caused any mental harassment to you or whether her behavior is not good or on any grounds. First you must say your dissatisfaction to her. You must put the matter before elders and well wishers. If there are any misunderstandings, you both will settle amicably. If the defect is incurable then you must apply for divorce. Take expert legal advise. Consult an expert advocate and put the matter before him. He will give proper advise and guide you properly.
