Conflict over keeping the adult daughter from previous marriage
22-Sep-2024 (In Family Law)
I married to a divorcee 3 yrs back who has a daughter from previous marriage. Her custody was with her mother that time. Now that girl has turned 18 and my husband is now saying thay she will stay with us it is her right and he already brought her home in my absence. This thing he didnt tell before marrting me. Is he doing correct thing? Do i have any right to stop this or file for a case of cheating?
You have legal remedies against your husband and you can take legal action also, which we can discuss over phone or in meeting.
When a child completed the age of 18 years then that child It is the child's wish where she lives, with her mother or father or with someone else. It means that girl can go back to her mother also. you r free to call me .
If the husband brings his 18-year-old daughter from a previous marriage to live with him without the permission of his second legal wife, the wife may consider the following legal actions:
Domestic Violence Complaint:
If the wife believes that bringing the daughter without her consent has caused emotional, mental, or psychological abuse, she can file a complaint under the **Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005** for mental cruelty or emotional abuse.
Injunction/Restraint Order
The wife can seek an **injunction** or **restraint order** from the court to prevent the daughter from staying in the matrimonial home if she believes the presence of the daughter is causing distress or harm to her marital life.
