Family dispute
3 years ago
Dear Sir,
Please advise legal to proceed forward in the matter concerned below
We got married in sept 2019 and later my wife left my house in Jan 2020 due to family dispute. I made many attempts to sort the dispute till April 2020 and left it since she is not coming to any compromise. My wife and her family intentionally hidden the birth of my daughter to us. After my attempts i came to know about my childbirth after 32 days of her birth and went their home to see my child. Finally, they have shown my child to me. Few days back my parents went to my spouse home to see their granddaughter with prior intimation from me. The entire family in their house used very unpleasant words on my parents and thrown them out and denied showing the new-born baby.
nothing is going well in my marriage life. what are the rights of the father and grandparents? Is my wife and her family have the rights to hide the baby from my parents. The baby is 2 months old. now i am willing to make divorce also for peace of life. we are not willing to go to their home after this incident. How my parents can see the baby.
what steps should I take. Please help me legally.

A.Hi,
If you want divorce, you can consult your wife and can take divorce on mutual consent.
However, if she disagrees, you can file a petition for divorce under any other ground of divorce.
Although, you can also seek restitution of conjugal rights from court.
Along with all this, you can claim visitation rights to meet your child.
