My husband left me and my child for 1 year and 10 months. He says he is seeing someone for another relationship. I love him and dont want to divorce him. He tried to talk me into filing for mutual divorce. I think he doesnt have sufficient grounds to file the divorce on his own. I have been through a lot of emotional stress and trauma due to all this for the past two years now and wish to immigrate to another country say for eg. canada with my child and start a new life far from all of this. What are my options. Can i file for child custody without filing for divorce considering my husband left me and the child it will be two years in January, 2011. He has been paying an amount of 23000/- since the time he left every month for the child's expenses which i have saved in her account for her future. I work and take care of my daughter. I really need genuine advice on what i should do in my given circumstances.
