You can file a petition in the Family Court seeking custody and maintenance for your child. The court will then order your ex-husband to pay regular maintenance and may also order him to visit the child. You can also seek legal aid to assist you with the process.

My partner and I are considering a mutual divorce and have a question about dividing our assets. We received a gift of Rs 8 lakhs from my parents towards our flat purchase after our first anniversary. This covered roughly 40-50% of the flat’s cost. If we divorce, are we obligated to repay my parents 40-50% of the flat’s current value or the original Rs 8 lakhs plus interest? Would the answer change if the money had come from my partner’s parents instead?

I got married in 1998 but never received a proper marriage certificate. I only have a copy of the form. My husband’s behaviour towards me and our teenage daughter is unbearable. He constantly uses abusive language, drinks excessively, and fights with us. We are both suffering immense mental stress. I can’t take it anymore and want to separate. I’m financially dependent and worried about my daughter’s future. She doesn’t want to live with her father either. I have no one else but my daughter. Please advise on how to proceed with a divorce and ensure our well-being.

Previous Article My family has lived in a house owned by an akhara for almost 70 years. Recently, the manager demanded ₹50,000 for repairs, which we paid. He promised our rent wouldn’t increase beyond ₹1,100. However, our rent was only ₹250 in 2010 and he raised it to ₹1,100 after repairs in 2001. Now, in 2016, he wants to raise it again to ₹1,800, claiming he can do whatever he wants. Many tenants in their Haridwar properties have faced similar rent increases. Can I deposit the rent with the court? What can I do if I refuse to pay the increased rent and he threatens to evict us after a year?
Next Article My grandfather passed away, and his property was sold by his legal heirs (my father and uncles) to a third party 10 years ago. Now, after all this time, my siblings and I are facing legal trouble because our parents are using a pre-decree order they obtained in 1991 to try and claim a share of the property. The court has already dismissed their request for a final decree, and they are now appealing. They are asking for a reallocation of their share, even though the property was sold legally in 1980. We are being dragged into this legal battle, and we are trying to argue that the sale was valid and the property is no longer theirs. What can we do to protect our interests and stop them from interfering with our ownership?
