In India, many families face challenges when relationships break down. Imagine a scenario where a wife leaves with the children, citing jealousy, and later seeks financial support. The father, despite wanting to see his kids, is denied access, and the court struggles to intervene. Even the children express reluctance to meet their father. Should he be forced to pay maintenance without the opportunity to connect with his own children? Isn’t this unfair? Wouldn’t it be better to ensure regular visits between parents and children, regardless of their feelings, to protect the well-being of the children and the future of our nation?

My husband and I divorced in 2011, and we agreed on child support for our 8-year-old daughter. He’s a doctor, but hasn’t had a regular job since then and hasn’t provided any support. His parents help out a little, but it’s not enough. Is there any way I can legally make him fulfill his commitment to support our daughter?

My wife has taken our 8-month-old daughter to her parents’ home. We’re not divorced, but I’m worried about our daughter’s safety. Her grandparents often argue loudly, sometimes getting physical and even needing medical attention. Even those not involved can get hurt. How can I legally get custody of our baby in this situation?

My husband and I are going through a rough patch and I’m currently living with my parents. I don’t want a divorce, but I’m hoping to adopt a child. Can I do this without telling my husband? Will schools and colleges accept the child’s application without needing to list a father’s name?

My daughter was born in 2006 after I married, but her father, who lives in the UK, left us while I was pregnant. We divorced in 2010 and I remarried, but needed to leave for Canada. Despite his opposition, I secured temporary custody of our daughter and moved in 2010. It took five years to gain full custody, but my second marriage ended in 2013. Then, in 2015, my daughter’s father appealed the custody order, which is now on hold. How can I secure full custody again to ensure my daughter’s well-being and help me get permanent residency in Canada?
