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

A. Dear Client,
Under the Guardians and Wards Act of 1890 in India, when a child reaches the age of 9, the court considers their preference in custody disputes between parents. Sole custody for a father is possible, but it requires establishing the mother's unfitness before the court and demonstrating that the father meets the "best interest standard" for the child. Section 39 of the Guardians and Wards Act outlines that a parent, be it the mother or father, may lose custody if they fail to provide ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
In the ancestral property (if proven), the children of the first wife can seek partition and separate share out of the share of his father and not beyond that. The father can settle his entire self-acquired properties in favor of his children born out of his second wife without allotting any share to the children of his first wife. The rights to ancestral property for the first wife and her children without a divorce from the husband are determined by the Hindu Succession Act of 195 ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,

Your wife can initiate a case of POSCO against you and India has a high number of cases of fake POSCO Proceedings, but the possibility of it depends on the mentality of your wife and her approach. However, even if she initiates the case establishing the crime under POSCO when you are innocent will be a very difficult task.

A. Dear Client
Familiarize yourself with the Indian laws pertaining to child custody. In India, the welfare of the child is of paramount importance, and the court will make decisions that are in the best interest of the child. If your wife and her family are not engaging in an amicable resolution, you may need to initiate legal proceedings. This may involve filing for child custody or visitation rights through the family court in the jurisdiction where your family resides. Collect any evidence that ...ReadMore
