A. Dear Client,
Until and unless a marriage is annulled by a decree of divorce, you cannot claim custody of your 4-year-old child. As per the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, if the child is below 5 years old, the custody is naturally given to the mother. Only in case, if the court feels that the mother is unfit to take care of the child, the custody will go to the father or another person. It is always recommended to consult an expert divorce lawyer to get the right legal advice before filing ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
According to the Hindu Marriage Act, either spouse can file for divorce with mutual consent after one year of marriage and one year of separation. Contested divorces don't require a year of separation. In custody matters, both parents have equal rights, but if they disagree, the court decides based on the child's welfare. Hindu couples can petition for custody under the Hindu Marriage Act or the Guardian & Ward Act. Typically, custody goes to the mother for children under 5 unless ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
Living separately for an extended period, such as seven years, doesn't obligate your family to reunite with you against their will. Even a court cannot compel your family to reconcile after such prolonged separation, which constitutes a valid ground for divorce under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 if either spouse applies for it. However, under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act, a spouse can petition a district court for the restitution of conjugal rights, which allo ...ReadMore

In the case of adopting the daughter of your wife from her previous marriage, the consent of her biological father is necessary. The adoption deed must also be duly registered, with the biological father giving consent to the adoption by the new husband.

A. Dear Client,
Upon the dissolution of a marriage through a divorce decree, custody of a child below 5 years typically goes to the mother. The Guardians and Wards Act of 1890 in India allows a child aged 9 or above to express a preference for custody in court appeals by either parent. Fathers can obtain sole custody by establishing the mother's unfitness before the court and demonstrating that it is in the child's "best interest." Fathers may face additional challenges in proving paternity, thei ...ReadMore
