A.dear client in your matter As per the basic provisions of LAW since your child is a below 5 years then the mother will have the custody of the child. But if you can pore that she is not capable of bringing up the child, then the custody can be given to you.Please file a suit of divorce under mutual consent.

A.Dear, You have stated that both you are working. That means your wife is able to go to work and capable of doing every day regular work. So, it will depend upon the court discretion. On the other hand your child is below 5 years of age, and according to The Guardians and Ward (Amended) Act the mother can claim for the physical custody of the child and the father can have the visitation rights.

A.Physically challenge is not deciding factor.Only the parents mutually agree and decide. If there is dispute or issue it is better to consult a family Advocate who will guide & help in the child custody process.
