when her son was 1 month old ,she left the child alone with my brother and she ran away to his father's house.after that my parents met to her parents and talk about the situation.but her parents and some relatives said that she does not listen to any body.finally we got her back home.
for your info they are only for people in the family,my parents and brother and his wife.my parents are very kind and normal people.
after that once she went to nari niketen without any reason,saying that her father in law kicked her out from the house.since the situation was totally wrong.we were so surprised that without any reason she could do this?my parents are old,they are very good.my brother is extra good.he did so many thing for her to made her happy.but nothing worked.now finally she ran away forever and she did polish case against only father in law,but polish said that she did not follow up.she always call my brother that take the child custody from her.she does not want the child with her.and asking for money. even her father said that he is tried from her.her all relatives saying that you got good people and husband why are you doing this?her all behavior is not abnormal at all.
what do we do now?does she has mentally disorder?in that case how long does it take for divorce?do my brother has to give her alimony?how much?

Getting a divorce is easy because one need only state that there are irreconcilable differences which hinder the marital relationship and that there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliatiuon.
Alimony is paid to a dependent spouse, not one who is capable of supporting herself in a reasonable manner. Additionally, the shorter the marriage the shorter the time for paying alimony. Alimony might be required for a year so that she can collect herself. The amount of alimony depends upon the other spouses income.
