Wife taking child abroad

 IMMEDIATE HELP REQUIRED

Below Are the Facts:

1.       Wife working in MEA as Personal Assistant.

2.       My Daughter is 6 Years of age at present with my wife.

3.       Got Married on 23rd april 2008, Wife stayed with me for 3 Months after Marriage after conceiving went back home, came back just for delivery and went her home again just for 15 days and never came back.

4.       After 4 ½ Years I filed (Divorce - Sec 13 + Custody & Meeting rights on June 2013 – Desertion, cruelty & schizophrenia). She has filled only 1 case ( ie: Sec 24 Maintenance)

5.       Judge asked me how much would like to help your daughter, i  told that i would like to voluntary give Rs. 5000/= PM to my daughter (which i am Regularly Giving maintenance)

6.       Since after 2 years i have been allowed only 2 times to meet my daughter for only 50 minute and after a gap of 1 year. (Note : when i met her second time she didn’t came to me and even didn’t recognize me at all)

 

Problem Priority wise:

P1. Just on last date my wife has submitted a statement in court that she has been deputed to Bhutan India High Commission and she has to leave India in april 2015 . For which Judge added this info in order and said this is a Civil case saying you can make your lawyer proxy.

Note: She didn’t ask any permission to take my daughter or not, as if she was thinking that every things will fall in her favour as default.

Note: When my Lawyer said that Madam Section 26 is still pending (Child Custody & Meeting Rights), on which Judge didn’t gave any satisfactory Reply. And gave new date for Discussions ie: 4th Aug 2015.Actually 6 months from Now and My wife will fly to Bhutan on April 2015 with My daughter.

I had Discussions with Many People. They said this would actually one more cruelty   on you.

 

 

Action which i had taken:

1.       Today I moved Application 151 in the same court “Requesting my Judge to stop her to go to Bhutan along with the child”.... But Judge seems to be biased said me verbally (Should she leave her job for your Meeting rights).

She has called me 3.30 on 25th Feb 2015 (After 3 days) ...... let’s see what happens

 

Questions:

1.       Can any spouse take child outside Country if Child custody case is still pending?

2.       Does father have no visitation right at all.... She never see my daughter for 4 ½ Years and after that in 2 years court battle i only saw child only 2 times and now she is going abroad with no directions from the court.

3.       Other is we have a separation off 4 ½ Years + 2 years court battle, but still my wife doesn’t wants to give divorce to me and just want to play around my life and my career using long litigation process. In this case what should i do?

Dear Mr. Raj,

You raised some very pertinent questions in respect of child custody as well as cotinuation of matrimonial relationship even after desertion of more than six and half years.  The matter requires deft handling as it involves the emotions of the child,that too girl child.  There are certain things, which I feel, you should have done.  First, you should have filed the separate custody case alongwith visitation rights, instead of interim releif of custody that is available under Sectin 26 of HMA, long, long back when she left you six and half years back.  You should have also sent monthly maintenance amount for the girl child since her birth, as you were aware of the estrangement cropped up between the spouses and there was less likelihood of her coming back to matrimonial home was bleak.  Any how, we should not cry over spilt milk.  Buck up, wait for 25th Feb. outcome and comeback on this forum to let us know the result.  Now also I suggest the following few tips:

1.  File custody case along with visitation rights. 

2.  You should not stop her to go abroad for her official duties.  It would make you a villain in the eyes of the society.  You have to mould your prayer in such a way that your desires are fulfilled while there will be no impendiments in her career progression.  So, you ask for winter and summer vacation of your child with you.  If she is going to Bhutan in April, you can have the company of your child in June (summer vacation) of this year and December (winter vacation) of this year.  As long as she will be in abroad assignments, you can get visitation rights in same or similar fashion.  Move an appliation for expeditious disposal of visitation rights application, before April, 2015.  

3.  If you are not seeing the pace of disposal of your visitation application here in intending custody case or the order that is coming in pending Sectin 26 has  got a tilt towards the mother depriving you of the visitation rights,  go for civil misc. main petition before the High Court seeking the visitation rights.

As long as you won't disturb your present advocate and if you require any further assistance in this matter, you can call me on 9868332610 between 5 to 6 PM.
