My husband has become an alcoholic and lost his job, making our life miserable. I have a one-year-old child and want to protect him from any negative influence. How can I get a divorce and prevent him from getting any visitation rights?

In India, alcohol addiction alone is not sufficient grounds for divorce. You can seek divorce based on cruelty, which can include your husband’s addiction and its impact on your life and child. However, it is highly unlikely that you can completely prevent your husband from having any visitation rights with your child; Indian law prioritizes the child’s best interest and encourages parental involvement.
