Reading: I’m a stay-at-home mom with a 7-month-old daughter. My husband works constantly and hardly spends time with us. He never even takes us to the doctor when we’re sick, which often leads to unnecessary medical expenses. He also doesn’t communicate directly, leaving everything to his mother who often exaggerates problems and complains to me. This constant negativity isolates us and hurts deeply. Is it possible for me to get custody of my daughter and claim alimony or half of our apartment even if I start working before the divorce? I just want to ensure my daughter and I aren’t the only ones who suffer the consequences of this failed relationship.

Under Indian law, you can seek custody of your daughter and alimony. Your husband’s neglect and lack of support can be used as evidence for these claims. However, starting work may impact alimony, so consult with a lawyer to understand the specific implications and available options in your case.
