Reading: My daughter, Keerthana, married in 2012 and works in an IT company. She got pregnant after eight months, but her husband demanded 30 lakhs to buy a new house in Bangalore, which we couldn’t afford. She came back to our home and had a baby boy. They haven’t visited since. We filed a police complaint and he promised to call her and their child within three months. Instead, he filed for divorce, went to the US to work at L&T, and the divorce case was dismissed. We filed a case for cruelty, and the judge granted her permission to live in his house, but his family refused. They wouldn’t give her interim maintenance either. My daughter is now completing her first year of B.L. at a college in CBE. What can I do?

Your daughter can file a fresh divorce petition highlighting the husband’s abandonment, cruelty, and refusal to provide maintenance. She can also seek alimony and custody of the child. The court can also order the husband to pay for the child’s education and expenses.
