Re: child custody

you have not mentioned with whom the child is. Chances of your getting her custody are very remote. The child is of very tender age. Most likely the custody will remain with your wife. You are biased towards your wife family. Try to understand your wife's point of view as well. Life will be better.

Re: child custody

Your wifeis probably major and also seems to be of sound mind, so where is the question of coersion or brainwash etc.Be practicle and face the situation.Contest the custody case and prove that your wife is not entitled for custody.Though in normal course mother is guardian of child upto the age of 5 years.

Re: child custody

forget custody of the child at this stage.

if you really love your child, better go and apologise to your wife for what ever wrongs u have committed.

it is better to avoid divorce and make mends for family sake.
