Legal Question in Family Law in India

Custody of daughter

I have a daughter about three and half year of age. At present my wife and

daughter are staying at my father-in-law native place for the last three

months. My wife is not willing to reside with me; also she is not willing to

file divorce case against me from her side. She is staying there on the

ground that I am tourchering her which is not true. I don\'t know why she is

interested to stay there along with my daughter, but I suspect some illegal

relations of my wife there, but I have no proof of it. In this circumstances

even when I want to meet with my daughter outside the premises of my

father-in-law residence, my wife and my father-in-law denies to meet my

daughter, they told me to meet my daughter at there residence apprehending

that I may taken away my daughter, if I will meet her out-side there

residence. I am also not interested to meet my daughter at there residence

apprehending there misbehave and to avoid any unlawful circumstances. So

please advice me what is the legal provision and role of police if I file a

F.I.R. against my wife and father-in-law to meet my daughter out side the

residence of my father-in-law.

Re: Custody of daughter

if she has allegations of torture against you, she may lodge an FIR against you under section 498-A IPC; she may also proceed against you under Domestic Violence Act.

Therefore, you should first try to settle the matter - matrimonial dispute, maintenance of your wife and child; - and defer the issue of custody or meeting with the child.

better if you settle the matter amicably out of court.
