I am a 32 year old woman got married in the year 2008 and I have two kids,I am quite frustrated with my marriage as I have to go through mental torture aswell as emotional setback because the man I am married to as a complete drunk and he hardly ever gives time to his family , the mental tension and the verbal abuse is far worse as he crosses every limit when he gets into a fight with me and that also is not a good impression in the kids as they are too young to see all this happening. I want to file for a divorce but I really don't know how to do that and what steps should I take before filing for a divorce because I am thinking of moving to my parents house and I don't know that do I need to file a complain before leaving or I can send the notice later on when I reach my Preants houseMy both the sons are aged 9 and 4 so therefore what would it take for me to take their Guardianship.

No need to send any notice to your husband before leaving him.
Once you reach your parents place, propose the idea of mutual divorce before your husband. Incase he's not ready for mutual divorce, file a case of contested divorce against him on the ground of mental cruelty. You have sufficient ground to obtain divorce from him. You also have the option of preferring a complaint under domestic violence act against him.
1) you can file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty
2) divorce petition can be filed within jurisdiction of court wherein marriage was solemnised or where you resided with husband after marriage or where you reside
3) you can file for divorce from city wherein your parents are residing if you return to your parents home
4) seek custody of children
5) interim maintenance and alimony from husband
Hello,
You may file a divorce on the ground of cruelty as per section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act.
You can file the same either at the place where you two last resided together or at the place where the husband residing (after you move to your paternal home).
Note that you may take the children with your self and keep the custody, if the husband does not file a suit to take custody thereafter then the custody remain with you and after some time you may file a suit to tale sole guardianship of the children, in that case notice will be issued to your husband.

Divorce is not required unless you intend to remarry.
Relocate to your parents home and in case if he is employed, file a criminal maintenance case against him to get monthly maintenance.
The childrens shall continue to remain under your custody unless he files a petition claiming guardianship rights and the court awards in favour of him.
Hi,
First thing you should do is file suit for domestic violence as soon as possible against your husband. This you can file from both the places (where you are residing at present and/or your parent's place). You will need documentary evidence to prove your case, so collect as much evidence as possible before filing the case.If there's any physical violence, get a medical prescription from a Government hospital. You will need to prove his drinking habit and violent nature. This case, if proved, will also get you custody of your kids (specially the elder one). If you want, you can ask for maintenance for yourself as well as kids.
Simultaneously, you can file a divorce case too from any of the places mentioned above. Divorce suit can be filed for "cruelty", and custody of children can be included in the prayer clause along with the legal cost of the suit. Contact a good local lawyer.
