My husband and I have been living apart for the past two years, and I’m seeking a divorce. I’m financially independent and earn more than him. I want to ensure my daughter’s well-being with child custody and financial support. I’m also seeking compensation for the emotional distress caused by infidelity and the expenses associated with our wedding. Can you guide me through the legal process for divorce in India?

In India, you can file for divorce on grounds of cruelty or desertion (living apart for two years). You can seek custody of your daughter and financial support for her. You may also seek maintenance for yourself and compensation for emotional distress and wedding expenses, although the court’s decision depends on specific circumstances and evidence. It’s best to consult a lawyer for personalized guidance and representation.
