Yes, you can file for divorce in Kolkata. Under the Hindu Marriage Act, you can file for divorce in the court where either you or your wife resides. Since you reside in Kolkata, you can file for divorce there, regardless of where the marriage took place or where the maintenance case is pending.

I’m going through a divorce, and I’ve filed for custody based on adultery and also a DNA test. The court is now ready for arguments on the DNA case. I have strong evidence like my wife’s medical records and even phone recordings where she admits to being with someone else during the time the child could have been conceived. Should I present these proofs before, after, or during the arguments? What would be the best approach here? I’m a bit lost, and any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

My ex-wife and I mutually agreed to a divorce a few years ago, which the court approved. Recently, the police from the area where the previous domestic violence case was filed visited my home, saying they were following up on it. My ex-wife claims she had no idea the case was still pending. Now, she seems to be using it to cause trouble. My question is, since we had a legally binding divorce, does this old domestic violence case still hold any weight? Can she file a new one against me? I’m confused about my legal standing, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Previous Article I worked at a company for about a month, leaving due to personal reasons. I formally resigned through email to HR and my manager. After sending the email, I didn’t go back to the office. A month ago, I received an email demanding payment of around Rs. 50,000. Now, I received a formal notice from the company demanding payment within a few days or facing consequences. What should I do in this situation?
Next Article I’m considering divorce after five years of marriage. My husband has never taken responsibility for me or our two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. We want to go for a mutual divorce, but I want to make sure he has no rights over our child after the separation. He’s never bothered to provide for our daughter’s basic needs like food, clothes, or shelter. I don’t want him to see her, as he’s irresponsible and often drinks. We’ve moved out of our rented house, and I’m living with my parents. Can you advise me on how to ensure child custody?
