In India, you have legal recourse for your situation. You can approach a court to seek maintenance from your family under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007, or under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, if you’re facing any abuse.

I’m planning to apply for permanent residency in Canada under the Federal Skilled Worker program. I’m going through a divorce in India, which started two years ago. My wife has filed several cases, including one for us to live together, another to move the divorce case to her city, and a maintenance case. Our four-year-old son lives with her. Should I include details of these legal proceedings in my PR and visa application? Could these cases affect my chances of getting Canadian PR or a visa? Is it possible that my wife could cause problems for me or my parents in India during or after the PR and visa process?

My wife and I have been married for 18 years, and after many attempts to reconcile, I had to file for divorce on grounds of infidelity. We couldn’t reach a mutual agreement, and I have strong evidence, including witness testimonies and phone recordings, proving her affair. The family seems involved as well. Our son is with me, and we’ve had to move into a rental because she forced her way back into our house. I have filed police complaints against her false accusations, and she filed a case claiming a share in my father’s property. The High Court has ordered a decision within six months. She’s now trying to delay the proceedings with false medical certificates. I’ve presented all the evidence, including her phone recordings and bank statements, and filed an application seeking action against her for perjury and the doctor who provided the false certificate. What are my chances of success in this situation? Is there any possibility of a settlement, or should I push for stricter action?

My father, a retired pensioner, and I are part of a seven-member family from Rajahmundry. My mother, unfortunately, passed away recently, leaving behind a will written by a notary. She bequeathed her three houses to my divorced sister, leaving the rest of us with nothing. This decision was made without my father’s or my consent. The will was witnessed by my maternal uncle and aunt. My sisters are refusing to share a copy of the will or provide any details, leaving me feeling cheated. My father supports the will, but I believe we all deserve equal shares, including my deceased sister’s portion. I’m seeking legal advice on how to proceed in this difficult situation.

My father, who’s 70, and I, at 38, have been running the family construction business since I was a kid. Lately, things haven’t been good. He’s getting older and finding it hard to manage everything. I’m eager to help, but he’s reluctant to share the business or let me take a bigger role. I can’t even get a loan because I’m not officially part of the company. Is there any legal way for me to become a partner in the firm?
