Indian law recognizes a child’s right to connect with both parents, even if divorced. You can approach the Family Court seeking an order compelling your ex-husband to facilitate contact with your daughter. The court will consider the child’s welfare and best interests in making its decision.

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.

We’ve been married for a decade now, with two lovely children. My wife has always been suspicious of my interactions with women, leading to constant misunderstandings. This has caused a lot of strain in our relationship. Recently, I’ve found solace in an old friend who’s been struggling with her health. Being with her brings me peace and happiness, and I’ve been helping her with her medical expenses and other needs. I’ve always been a dedicated father and have taken full responsibility for our children. If my wife wishes to separate, I won’t object to providing her with financial support. However, can she legally force me to live with her against my will? Could she file a police complaint accusing me of cheating?

My wife has filed a case against me under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005. The first hearing was today, and the judge has asked me to submit a written statement.

Can you advise me on what to include in my written statement, considering the Delhi Karkardooma Court requires me to also send copies to my wife and her lawyer?
