Re: divorce
In the normal course the Court grants custody to the mother if the child is less than five years.
Your job profile etc doesnt matter.
Re: divorce
No, it does not make any different who takes the lead; actually, if both of you are wanting divorce and there is no dispute about alimiony and custody of the child, divorce by mutual consent should be preferred. in any case, you are well within rights not to initiate any proceeding before any forum, if you do not have any issue of cruelty or domestic violence etc.
Re: divorce
Upto the age of 5 years mother is the best guardian,so till then you have nothing to worry and thereafter,your educational qualifications and earnings are plus points in your favour.If you have decided,then go ahead with divorce and it does not matter as to who has initiated steps for divorce.For any other clarification,contact with details,professional charges are applicable.

Generally the court gives custody to the mother of a child less than 5 yrs.Your eduacation and job may be an added advantage.Taking lead doesnot make any difference.
