Dear client as you want the custody of the chjld it depends upon you facts and the age of your child if u having sufficient neans to nurture yiu child then it goes on your favour and ultimately the consent of the child also taken in to consideration

Yes your husband can set aside ex party decree with proper cause by applying to court. After divorce you can get maintenance for u and ur kid but problem is maintenance is paid by husband n ur husband is not available at court.

Hello,

Divorce case and custodial proceedings are different in nature. Has the court ordered for a first motion or is it still pending? Although, a reasonable DV case adds up to the custodial proceedings in your favour.

Hi,
you should first claim maintenance for yourself and child.
Your husband is entitled to maintain you and the child.
If you settle for one time payment in divorce then he shall not pay in future.
For more information feel free to have a word with me.
All the best

You being a mother will always have a riggt to ckaim maintenance and custody of your child irrespective of divorce. However, you will have to file appropriate applications/petitions for the same. You must have claimed custody in your dv petition.
