Sir,
One of my cousins (sister) got married in 2016 and was blessed with a baby boy (9 years old). Her spouse traveled to Germany in 2017 and returned to India in 2022. Since then, he has been living in Hyderabad with his friends, while my sister and her son are in a rented house in Visakhapatnam. Her husband is not looking after them and is not providing a single paisa for them. So, what should we do now? How to safeguard her son's rights, and my sister wishes to initiate a divorce since her husband has not been employed for many years.

Before applying for divorce, she has to think about whether she can get on with her minor son. No harassment from her hubby and in-laws. He is not looking after them, she can request her husband, her parents, her in-laws and all well-wishers of their family and discuss the situation, and then think about divorce. Even then, he is not turned, she can file a divorce case and for maintenance that he is not maintaining her and their minor son and other strong reasons.

Why did she not initiate any social pressure through her in-laws, relatives, parents, friends etc. to take care and maintain herself and their son since 2017 till date ?
What are compelling circumstances for your cousin (sister) to seek divorce at this stage ?
