Legal Question in Family Law in India

I got married in mumbai 2.5 years back and we have 1.5 year old child. I have currently staying in gulf country for job along with wife & kid. Since marriage, my wife is always fighting with me for actually "no issues" from my point of view. She has taken a stand as I should not give any money to my parents which is completely not acceptable to me. Currently I am fulfilling all her needs but she behaves very selfish and keep fighting with me. Now I am tired of endless arguments and thinking of sending her back to mumbai and taking divorce from her. Also I prefer to get custody of my child because I think I can give better life to my kid than my wife. So please suggest on below points

1. how the divorce process will be ?

2. Will there any effect on my job in gulf

3. what will be my losses in terms of alimony

4. Will i get custody of 1.5 year old child

Answer to your questions:

1. how the divorce process will be ?

If it is by mutual consent it will be easier and quicker, else it can take 2 - 3 years. And will be costly for you too.

2. Will there any effect on my job in gulf

No it will not - as long as there are no issues related to physical violence.

3. what will be my losses in terms of alimony

Depends on your income.

4. Will i get custody of 1.5 year old child

Not likely.

1) Your divorce procedure will depend on the marriage process you underwent. Generally when divorce is filed by one party against another, it takes about 2-3 years. Mutual consent is the best way ahead where by the parties amicably settle dispute.

2) Your job in the gulf will not be affected but you will be needed in court during specific stages so you have to arrange your leave accordingly.

3) Alimony is based on the need of the wife and your income.

4) Custody of the child is not likely.

If your wife is ready for divorce than you can go for mutual consent divorce. You can get the mutual consent divorce in six to seven months and will have to be here in india for 2 to 3 times. your job will not get affected. Custody and other terms can also be negotiated.
