applying for divorce..

A spouse seldom tells truth,       If we hear you, you appear to us to be helpless.      If we hear your husband, he appears to us to be helpless.     

It's somewhat better if we hear you both on the same platform.

But telling truths is the desideratum.

Your husband is right he loves his parents.

You're right if they misbehave.

Your husband should prefer you to his parents if they misbehave;  he should prefer them to you if you misbehave.

If the maladjustments are not settled, your poor husband has to maintenance.     He should curse his fate. 

Filing for divorce is a one-way street. When you have a baby, it should be the absolutely last resort. Once you file, the acrimony increases, advocates of both sides add fuel to fire by multiplying cases, and its the end of your marriage, in law and more importantly, outside of law. The most important sufferer: THE BABY.  So, hang in there and wait for some time. Your case appears to be nothing very serious. He is not beating you. He is not alcoholic. He is not having an affair. Right? If so, he is a OK guy. So be optimistic and be patient before advocates plod you into filing a case.

If you are away from him for 1.5 years you must make attempt to come back and stay with him and have evidence. Otherwise, after two years of separation he will claim that you deserted him and file for divorce based upon that ground and the Court will be favorable to him for deciding amount of maintenance.  GO BACK TO HIM AND NOT FIND AN EXCUSE TO STAY BACK.
