Legal Question in Family Law in India
My husband were not getting along for nearly 3 yrs and would constantly have fights on issues as he was not working started drinking etc. Finally he has left the house in Oct 2009 and not returned. Earlier he kept contact via phone and email but said not working and did not support me or our son 9 yrs old for 6 months. Finally when I learnt that he working and confronted that will come to his office he started paying me amounts per month ranging from 5 to 10 thousand. He hardly comes home and refuses to return. Rather since last 3 months he has not come. Financially also have to remind him each month to send me cash for the son and then he gives. He is not ready to come and give me divorce on mutual basis nor do I have his contact or whereabouts. He and his office people claim that he has left his job. I have no where to go or find out nor am financially to well. I do work but have to restrain myself from late jobs or late sitting jobs which pay well as have to be home for our child. I am managing everything idependently and is getting frustrating. How can I get a seperation. Is it possible by just going to family court and filling stating i dont have his where abouts only a cell no which is answered some times not and some times switched off for days. Kindly advice nor can I start a new life for myself and my son nor is he helping me out or agreed on any thing

If u want to live separate, you have to apply for divorce by filing application under relevant section. OK Why dont you take steps through police ?
If you want to live separate then you have to be strong to do so
