it is better you try to sort the matter out for the sake of your son. there is no major problem between you both that the intervention of lawyers or courts is required.
i have answered this question before. If you have decided that marriage cannot be saved, you may withdraw the RCR, file an application for divorce, an application for custody of the child as welll as visitation. She will not be entitled to maintainance as she sis working.
