For the past six years, I’ve endured domestic violence. My little one is now four, and I’ve decided to separate. My husband wants a “mutual” divorce, but I’m worried about my child’s future. He earns well, but I don’t have enough to raise our child alone. Will the court make him pay child support, regardless of the divorce terms? And if so, how much? I also don’t want him to see our child. Can I keep custody of my child forever? We are Hindus.

Under Indian law, the court can order child support regardless of the divorce terms, considering the child’s welfare and the husband’s earning capacity. The amount is decided based on factors like the child’s needs, the husband’s income, and the mother’s ability to contribute. While you can seek sole custody, permanent denial of visitation rights is unlikely unless proven harmful to the child.
