Hello to all experts,
I am currently staying away from my husband since Apr 2010. We have a child who was in my custody till Sep 2010. Now my child is with him and we had agreed to file mutual consent divorce (on his insistence). He sent me a draft petition however I refused to sign as it was one-sided and held false allegations on me. I asked him to send a simple petition stating the actual facts. Ever since then (Oct 2010) he is silent. I do not want divorce; can I return back to my matrimony house? They will not allow me in for sure .... so in that case what should I do? Take help of local police station? If YES, when...file a protection report before going home or after they deny me an entry?
If you want to read more on our problem, here is my story:
1) We were friends since 1995 and decided to get married in 2006. We immediately informed our parents (his mom did not like this).
2) Initially I faced a lot of problems --- he would keep touring (on work) and I would stay with my in-laws. My mom-in-law ill-treated me (no physical violence; however a lot of mental stress).
3) I finally shifted to Delhi where my husband would mostly travel and we planned to extend our family. We both were very happy
4) In the eight month of my pregnancy we returned to Mumbai. I was at my mother's place. I delivered a baby girl. We were very happy. My in-laws were happy too
5) Once again i returned to the joint family and this time they really harassed me. I was a working mother and they took full advantage of the situation
6) I told my husband several times taht I will quit the job, however he would refuse stating that it would get diff for me to get back to job if few years pass by.
7) Thing got bad to worse ever since then. My mom-in-law went on brainwashing my husband. Our bond got weaker and weaker.
8) He started consulting a lawyer since Oct 2010 (I was unaware) and he smartly created an environment where i would leave his house and never return back
9) I returned to my mother's home in Apr 2010 and have been living here till date. I went through a depression treatment (Allopathy + homeopathy + Councelling)
10) I also had to quit my job in Oct 2011 due to my health
11) Now I wish to go back; although I am aware that things will be difficult I want to live with my child and her father. I do not want our child to grow-up with one parent and/ or step parent.
I want to save our marriage. What is your advice?
