Hi! I'm filing for a mutual divorce. I've been married 8 years and have a 7 year old son whose custody I wish to retain. Though my husband has no objection to this, I would like to know how to secure


A. Dear Client
As per the prevailing legal provisions you have every right to retain your child custody, no separate legal proceedings are necessary in case there is no objections from your husband side,

My daughter aged 11 years want to stay with her grandmother on her own wish, without our permission,do law allow her to take own decisions?


A. Hi,
If your spouse and you are in the middle of separation proceedings, then the Guardians and Wards Act provides that children above 9 years must be heard when it comes to their preference of where to stay. However, if you are not separating, then the child is under your guardianship till she is 18 years old, and you may take a decision of your choice which you believe is in her best interests.

A. Dear Client,
As per your inputs i come to know that your husband is having extra marital affairs which is a ground for taking divorce from your husband, as a mother you have absolute rights over your girl child as a custodian. Better once you speak with your husband and inform him that you are willing to continue you marital life with him as he engaged with extra marital life and propose him for mutual divorce which is a speedy process, else apply for contesting divorce petition.
