My first marriage occured in 2009. My son was born in 2010. My ex wife is into service and quite capable of earning. Our mutual divorce happened in August 2017. Since then my son is residing with his mother. But at the time of divorce an agreement took place where it is mentioned that i have to pay my son's educational and medical expenses( any fixed amount or upto which age of his is not mentioned) . I was complying by the
rules but gradually i was being forced to increase the amount. Moreover there it was mentioned that she should be taking my consent before admitting son to any institution or before spending on any medical issue. But no such consent has been taken till date. Due to some unavoidable situations i could not pay the money for a couple of months.
Now the situation has taken an entirely different turn. She is not allowing me to meet my son for even once. Rather she is demanding huge sum of money and repeatedly trying to harass me. I am the only earning member in my family but in her family everyone is a earning member. She has even threatened to file a case against me if I don't pay according to her whims but at the same time she is not sending any bills. Please tell me what should I do?
My son is soon going to be of 9 yrs. Can I claim for my son's custody ? I have married for the second time , will that anyhow affect my custody claim or visitation rights?
Please tell me what should I do as I am being repeatedly forced to pay huge amounts of money and also that I can't even meet my son once. Kindly let me know the possible ways to solve my grim situation.
