Divorce after separation

Priya (Querist) 14 April 2008 This query is : Resolved
What are the legal rights for me, a married woman who was left in my father's place by my husband? The separation is for 5 years now. I have a mental illness, which was informed before marriage and a document signing the same by the husband is also available. My husband has never earned during our life together, but now I have heard he is earning his living. It was me with my illness who earned during marriage. When I spoke about divorce with my Psychiatrist lack of conjugal love was the reason he put forward. As I am earning only my basic needs, how or when should I proceed for the divorce? Also my father and brother is well settled and don’t want them to be dragged into this unfortunate incident. Even I have a part of my dowry and my earnings saved when ever possible. I don’t want any money to be paid to my husband to get the divorce. What are my chances to get a divorce?
