Single mom of a 5 month old baby


02-Jan-2023 (In Divorce Law)
My husband and I did not get along well since the 2nd day of our marriage. He never really cared for me and I never felt welcomed in the family. The match came through Christian matrimony app. He and my in-laws abused me mentally and emotionally. One day he and my mother-in-law tried to beat me and asked me out of their house when I was 6 months pregnant. He wanted a mutual divorce because our marriage did not work out as they expected. He got me pregnant without my consent and then wanted to abort after 4 months when I began to embrace the pregnancy. Eventually I was delivered of a baby girl. He came to the hospital on the 2nd day after numerous phone calls but did not touch the baby and never saw her again. The baby is 5 months old now and he never cared even to ask how she is. I refused to go back to him as he never cared for me and my daughter. He sent an advocate recently to try for divorce. I am not willing to give up my baby no matter what. So what are my rights in this regard?

hi if your husband is trying to apply for divorce you could fight it out and the custody of baby remains with you as she is very young and you could file maintenance and domeatic violence cases for harassement and neglecting the child
