Divorce case & going abroad

This query is : Resolved
I am fighting a divorce case sec 13i (a) filed by me 3 yrs ago. Its in petitioner evidence stage, moving slow. Seeing the trends of Indian courts, there are bare minimum chances 2 get timely divorce from unwilling wife (add up appeal period also). MCD is nowhere in sight for yrs 2gather. Marriage is practically dead. Apart from this case, others are:
1) DV Act case, pending for complainant’s evidence in nxt date. IOs are in my favour already 2 yrs ago.
2) Child aged 10yrs is wid me. Wife has not demanded custody in any court, only fortnightly visitation allowed in DV interim.
3) She applied 498a+406 three yrs ago as retaliation weapon, but no FIR. She did not approach for 156 (3) etc till date.
4) I do not have im-movable property. Parents have it. Mother is co-accused in her DV case.
Now I want to settle abroad, leaving the mess back. Is it possible and advisable that I shift to some other country on study visa & then PR. If yes, how to implement it with minimum damage. Remember, that wife’s attitude still is to spoil my future life if I do not take her back.

Your advocate could have pressed for the early hearing of the cases.

Sorry, its not a matter of early hearing of cases, finishing those n then leaving.
1) Most of the advocates (both sides)+judges are happy with long dates in matrimonial cases
2) Even if boy pushes hard, contested divorce is next to impossible to take from unwilling wife. In theory u may cite sec 21B etc, but practically its truth.
So, my concern is about pros & cons of leaving the country in this situation........and how to make it possible with minimum damage

Thanx Nadeem & other members!
Worrisome point is about my parents. Seeing them as sitting ducks in my absence, she may do some adventure in police/court.........that
a) they shud reveal where their son is?
b) she wil try to force living with them!
2nd concern is "whether I have 2 take anybody's permission to take my child along me abroad 2 settle sown"

you cant take your son abroad without court permission . your wife has visitation rights . if you try to go abroad with your son your wife will demand custody of child .
best option stay in india only if you want the custody of your child .
if you are prepared to give custody to your wife then inform the court and go abroad .

Thanx dear!
She does not want custody at all. She has not demanded it in DV case, neither she has filed GWA in past 3 yrs.
Can DV case or any new case (she may file after she comes 2 know about my departure) harm my parents?
