Divorce and Child Custody due to wife's extra-marital affair."


04-Feb-2026 (In Family Law)
​"I am a Hindu. My wife is constantly neglecting our child and spends hours chatting with other men on Instagram. I have live video evidence of her chats while she was neglecting the baby. She has frequently left the house without informing anyone. Currently, the child is safe with me and my mother. I want to file for divorce based on her behavior and seek permanent custody of my child to ensure the baby's safety. Please advise on how to proceed with the video evidence I have."

Hi, First thing, we can proceed for divorce proceedings with the evidence you have. secondly, If you proceed to divorce again you might have to pay monthly maintenance to your wife. thirdly, your child's custody can be given to you with video proof you have but she will get visitation right. But even if your wife is ready and you both mutually agree to part ways then you can agree for some lumpsum amount as alimony to your wife and partways provided you get custody of your child and you give visitation right to your wife to meet the baby. contact me for further details
