Legal Question in Family Law in India

Re: Divorce

As regards your query and the limited facts as naratted you can definitely file your papers for obtaining a valid court's order & decree of divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty provided you are able to establish the cruel and wrongful conduct of your spouse towards you. Preferably it is advisable to stay seperate to avoid further problems. If things are beyond control than you may intimate to the local police the said situation and the condition which you are into as regards the threats and the forceful behaviour to avoiding any further mishaps or /and unseen problems by recording the same. Peferably if you could resolve your issue in an amicable way than in that case you may approach the court by filing mutual consent petition by availing appropriate amicable legal recourse . Hope this should suffice your query in brief.

Re: Divorce

No, you don't have to live with her if you file for divorce.If she is going to oppose the divorce you will have to have a good ground for seeking divorce.You will have to pay her alimony for the rest of her life or until she marries again.If you go for divorce under mutual consent then she may stake a claim on your assets but you won't have to pay alimony.I need more facts, it would be best for you to find a good lawyer.
