Wife is not cooperating want to file for Legal separation


10-Oct-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hello Sir/Mada'm, We were married in 2003 under Hindu Marriages Act. My wife is not working and we have 2 school going kids (10 years old son, 5 years old daughter).Since marriage, my wife has been mostly staying with me and we have been travelling/staying abroad too. However she can't tolerate my parents, sister,brother-in-law and suspects that they are guiding me in all family matters which is not true. She always demands self respect, treats my family as below status and that I keep normal relations with her own family. If I keep normal relations with my extended family, then she will behave erratically to the extent of threatening me with legal/police action. She is being misguided by her mother and maternal extended family on this and she is acting as per their instructions in many situations. I am trying to adjust for last so many years but can't anymore as its impacting my health and kids well being. I want legal separation as last attempt to reconcile. pls advise on actions.

Before giving any advice i want to tell you " Marriage is this beautiful, amazing, loving, caring union... until it's not." i can say, marriage takes a lot of work, and it does, work that can be really rewarding. But divorce takes even more work, especially when there are kids involved. And that kind of work doesn't come with many rewards. Sometimes when you are in the midst of fighting and deciding you want to get divorced, far too many things and feelings are forgotten about and not considered because you are in the heat of the moment, the midst of what you feel is a definite finality in your marriage. my suggestion kindly take time and give some more time to your self, because you already completed, almost 13 to 14 years, see as you said " she is suspects that your family members are guiding you" but my friend your also doing same thing like your also suspecting on her that she is also taking advise from your in-laws, both are doing same mistake,. so better take some more time its not your life you have to think about your kids also, may be you don't want live with her, and same she don't want you, but did you think about your kids what they feel, so friend take some more time on this , one think sure what ever decision you take it directly affect on your kids. give another chance still its not working then we can decide.

Dear sir.

You can apply for a divorce under the grounds of in compatibility. Try to talk to her on this issue if not you can apply for a legal separation. But make sure you have enough room against her to show the court in manner of any witnesses or your conversations recorded etc. On procuring enough proofs you can proceed for a legal separation

I suggest you to file a Judicial Separation petition before the family court without seeking a prayer for divorce since you doesnot want divorce but separation. Later during the trail if your wife changes her behaviour then you can withdraw your petition.
