Yes, you can file for divorce based on your husband’s desertion, which is grounds for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act. You will likely be granted custody of your daughter as the primary caregiver. You can seek financial support for your daughter through a maintenance claim in the divorce proceedings.

My wife has been living separately for over 6 years and hasn’t taken care of our daughter, who is now 12. I’ve been raising her alone and want to get a divorce.

My wife filed a 498A case against me and my family back in 2006. We eventually reached a settlement in the Allahabad High Court in 2008 to resolve the situation.

It also stated that we would remain separated until we mutually decided otherwise, without specifying a time limit. I’ve been making monthly payments as agreed. I’m wondering how this agreement is legally binding under the Hindu Marriage Act. What is my legal status considering these circumstances?
