How to get divorce if wife refuses to leave matrimonial home

I want to file for divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty. Sometimes my wife says that she will agree to mutual consent, then backs off. She also threatens to get me and my mother arrested (not sure on what basis, either dowry or DV) I have neither taken dowry nor ever used any kind of violence. Although she has only verbally threatened me, i don't want to take any chance and file for divorce.

I spoke to a lawyer over phone, who said that its not possible to file a divorce case if both of us are living together. She refuses to leave the house and I have nowhere to go. I feel completely trapped and suffocated.

Is there a way to initiate the divorce proceedings even when my wife is living with me?

Another question I have is about how to prove my point in court? She has been constantly abusing and threatening me any my mother (who is sufferening from a serious illness). Everything happens within closed doors and there is no evidence of whatever I may say.

seek a psychologist or go for counselling instead of divorce who can change ur wifes behavior. and one who can tell how u feel and get hurt becoz of her attitude ..

Thanks for the advice, but this was not what I am seeking. My question is:

Is it possible to file for divorce even if my wife is staying with me?

But why is she saying so.Please express the whole facts, only then you can get proper remedy from experts here.

There is no use of taking the pluge now, suspend it for some time:

1) 1st of all, try ur best to save the marriage, if not possible then go to step 2

2) Collect as much evidence as possible to prove the cruelty, may be video clips, voice records, MLR if there is physical violence. U have to prove the cruelty if need be....not an easy task.

3) Try to move in a rented accomodation away from ur mother's house, if possible. No point fighting a divorce case with the wife inside ur house!

Keep updated!

Dear Mouse,

Of course you can file divorce on the ground of cruelity provided you can prove with evidence.

Another option if you find workable, why do you not try and save your matrimonial life by reconciling, conselling and mending her as per your family traditions, values and culture.

You can file

Anil Kumar (IT Professional)     04 December 2011

Friend,

Plz bring the mobile (who record the voice) or any voice recorder (Sony voice recorder) to tape your wife's threatning. If your wife still live with you, you can file divorce on the ground of mental cruelty. Better is go to any good lawyer. (My mean to say "Good Lawyer" not any ordinary lawyer)

And don't be loose you mentally balance in any cicumstances and not use any abusive language or heating arguments with your wife. Simply when you wife going to rude record the voice n make it evidence n produce in court . Law is gender biased in case of Dowry or Domestic violence or in 498A.

Manoj (Personal)     12 December 2011

Hi - you can file for divorce even if your spouse is residing with you. You should consult a proper lawyer who will provide proper guidance. As others have rightly said, there should be strong evidence that will support your case like, letters, IM chats, verbal duels etc.


(Guest)

Keep on recording the threats and bad behaviour, this would be helpful in future if something bad happens!!

@ Author,


I believe in direct coming to point to save professional fees levied on clients when cometh for legal advise!!!
Reasoning: When a query appears in internet’s legal forum(s) the pre-assumption is that, the person has already covered enough grounds on social round robins till date and thus has come to 3W’s to search / to find discreetly remedy to h/er marital issues that s/he stumbles upon researching on internet and telling h/er to follow social paths is itself ‘cruelty” per se. Just feed h/er the 27 mm. + 1 bonus picture (read as below grounds) and if s/hr have really made up h/er mind then s/he would discuss with family and will land in your chamber door eventually or will leave internet legal forums and start fresh h/er life and treating such authors / queries like a bachha / bacchia ki query is probably not the right amala douche therapy offered in professional practice. But that was mine approach and each one of ld. you may differ Constitutionally but fundamentally will agree to disagree being as always politically correct like we say at lunch time …. whatever…….J  
 

The gyan in its so called short wave length format:

Basis of it: In situations where means to end justifies self societal survival expectations deeds here cometh direct reply on how to achieve those means !

 


Background thus achieved:
First understand that the legal conception of cruelty comprises two distinct elements firstly, the ill treatment complained of and secondly the resultant danger or apprehension thereof. The moment you implant
50:50 benchmark in the minds of a Judge the case is all yours on mental cruelty in asked so called tough circumstances.

 


Now the process flow of why and how of it?


1. Seek assistance of a Family Court persuasive Advocate services.
2. File a petition under S. 13 (1) (ia) HMA

3. Serve upon her the process service as Dasti service to your address. In case of refusal by your wife the Process Server will record such refusal which will come handy later on during trial.
4. Seek ex-party injunction of non-communication of social nature on admission hearing date citing wife and husband living under same roof and here one party filed for divorce and apprehends counter blast from another party and possible ‘injury’. Baas itna kafi hai injunction ke liye aaz kal ke Bharat Ratna laws ke beech mei…..

Above
'ground(s)' are some of the doable ways to that means hinted in opening reply and are the most commonest happening in many a families in turmoil and are based on various SC / HC’s Judgment as to what was held under such and such (option) para and thus husband(s) got divorce from wife.  When you come to cross chosen bridge just mail me the option no. that you used and I will bingo you the Judgment and today you do not need them.

 

 

If behind "four walls" even one fact from above partial decided case ‘grounds on which divorce were granted by various Courts’ never happened in your marital life then let us say goodbye seeking divorce and suggest to worship her till next seven births with no next question asked - none replied which suggest we have no case (commercial) in hand after all and was a just fishing exercise L

 

 

PS.: Or the one and only unparalleled “bumper ground” which needs no further proof on ‘conduct based granted cruelty divorce’ is self explanatory which is fished from special memory album record room scooping its goshwara number and placed before amachi Metro Wives favs. Club as cruelty upon husband and is placed for consideration as follows K
