My wife left me in 2013, when our daughter was just 3 years old. I tried to visit her at her family home, but they refused, citing their influence and wealth. Since they had no grounds for a formal divorce, they pressured me in 2016 to sign papers, promising access to my daughter. I reluctantly agreed, signing a 50-rupee stamp paper outlining child custody, care, and meeting rights. This agreement clearly stated I could meet my daughter twice a month. However, after the divorce decree was issued, they again denied me access. The divorce order doesn’t mention any child care or meeting arrangements as we settled it outside court. Now I’m heartbroken and feel cheated. How can I see my daughter?

You can approach the court to enforce the child custody agreement you signed in 2016. The agreement, even on a 50-rupee stamp paper, is legally binding and can be used to seek court intervention for access to your daughter. You can also file a separate petition for custody and access rights, highlighting the violation of the agreement and the need for regular visitation.
