In India, you have the option of seeking a legal separation (judicial separation) or a divorce. A separation allows you to live apart while remaining legally married, while a divorce ends the marriage completely. Your rights include access to shared property, alimony, and custody arrangements for any children. Consult a lawyer for specific advice on your situation and legal options.

I’ve been married for seven years and have a six-year-old son. We had a love marriage, but recently I discovered my wife is close to a male friend. She claims they are just friends, but I found messages suggesting otherwise. I even saw them engaging in inappropriate conversations. She admitted to it being a mistake, but I’m heartbroken. She doesn’t contribute to household chores or care for our son or me. She also struggles with a mental health condition and is on medication. Our intimacy has suffered, and it’s been months since we last connected. My questions are: 1. Can I get a divorce based on infidelity? 2. Do I need to pay alimony and maintenance, considering she works? 3. Who will be responsible for our son’s care and well-being?
