You can file a petition under the Guardians and Wards Act for seeking custody/visitation rights/part custody of your Minor Son from your wife. As long as Divorce is concerned, you would need to show further grounds other than your wife not letting you meet your son, however, this may also be deemed sufficient. Please be adviced that filing a petition under G and W Act will be the best course of action. Therein we can ask your wife to place on record the documents pertaining to marriage.

You can file a divorce case on the basis of cruelty as well as desertion. As far as proof of marriage is concerned there are certain ways you can provide evidence in court. You can also file a custody case as being natural father you have if certain duties then rights also.
