Irresponsible husband how to get divorce and child custody
31-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I need a divorce from my husband. We are married on 11 July 2012 and I have a 4 years old son. I am living with my son and my dad from the last 3 years. My husband used to come everyday at my place but that's only to meet our son and for his breakfast and dinner. I am not getting any financial help from his side. He used to take care of his school fees but apart from that all the expenses are taken care by me. He's very irresponsible and always argue with me and with my sisters if we tried to talk about our marriage. What should I do?
You can easily file for a divorce in the family court u/s 13 of the HMA, if you are a Hindu. This section pertains to the ground of cruelty which could be both financial & mental. Since it is a little bit of both in your case, you can file for a judicial separation u/s 10 of Hindu Marriage Act as well, as you have already been living away from him.
As far as the child custody is concerned, you can put up the evidential proof that you have been paying the bills all along and taking care of your son and ask for maintenance for your son & alimony for yourself on these grounds.

Hi, in the present circumstances you can file a case in the family court of your area citing the circumstances and mental cruelty as reason of divorce. It may be possible that during counselling the matter is solved or else the case of divorce will proceed.
