My wife and our 4-year-old son have been living with her parents in Kolkata for the past two years. My wife has filed for divorce and I’ve been granted a restraining order. Can I get custody of our son without going through with the divorce?

Under Indian law, you can file for custody of your son even if the divorce proceedings are ongoing. However, the court will consider the best interests of the child, including their age, relationship with both parents, and stability of each household, when making a custody decision.
