My grandson is 10 years old and his parents are divorced and remarried. Both have children from their new marriages. We, the grandparents, want to adopt him. His mother is willing to sign the adoption papers, but his father is not. Is it possible for my daughter to sign the adoption deed alone?

Under Indian law, a single parent can’t adopt a child unless certain conditions are met, like the other parent being deceased or deemed unfit. Since the father is alive and hasn’t relinquished his parental rights, your daughter cannot solely adopt her son.

My husband and I, from different parts of India, got married in 2010. After our wedding, we moved to Bangalore where our child was born in 2012. Sadly, things haven’t been easy. My husband’s behaviour has been very hurtful, and I’ve been living with my parents in Raipur for the past few years. Despite the challenges, he continues to provide financial support for our child and me. However, the emotional abuse and violence have become unbearable. Last November, he came to Raipur and physically hurt me. Since then, we haven’t spoken. I am worried about my 4-year-old son’s future. I was working before marriage but had to leave my job after our son’s birth. If we were to separate, what would happen to my son? He is my world, and I can’t imagine losing him. Please guide me on what my options are in this situation.

I’m Sujeet, a Hindu from Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh. I’ve been married for four years, and my son is three years old. My wife wants me to leave my parents, who are both elderly and need my support. My father is 63 and has been on dialysis for two years. My mother is 60. I want to be there for both my parents and my wife, but she isn’t helping me. She hasn’t stayed in our home for a continuous 30 days in the past four years. She stays for 10 days and then goes back to her parents for 50 days. She constantly demands more than I earn, and her family supports her in this. My son is starting nursery this year, but she won’t allow him to attend a school near where I live and work. I love my son dearly, and I want custody of him. For the past three years, I haven’t been able to have him with me for a continuous 30 days due to his mother. We haven’t divorced, but I need guidance on how to proceed.

If a child lives with their mother and she remarries, what happens to the child’s name?

My partner and I lived together in Pune since the year 2000. In 2009, we adopted a little girl. My name was listed as her father on all her school records. Sadly, last week, she asked me to leave our home, where we’d lived as a family since 2006. Now, she’s living with another man and won’t let me see my daughter. Is there any legal way I can visit her?
