Cruelty of wife and child custody
We were married in 2003. Since that day my wife started misbehaving with my parents who were staying with for which they left to our village home within 3 months of marriage.
Our relationship were never smooth because of my wife's abusive behavior to me. We had a girl child in 2004 and soon moved to another city to join my new job.
in 2006 my wife took the 1.5 year child and left for her parent's house without telling me. She stopped all communications also. I tried to bring her back with the help of my family members, her friends and family etc. but she wouldn't communicate.
After 6 years, in 2012 I filed a divirce petition on cruelty ground. After she got the court notice she called me and expressed her desire to come back. So I took her back. I don't know what happened to the court case, since we were convinced that this time our relationship will go smoothly.
But she hadn't changed. She abuses me even publicly for the smallest of quarrel. She complaints to the director of the institute (at least 4 times) that I beat her, while it is the other way round, she beats me.
I want that our child gets both mother and father together. I want that she changes her behavior for the child's sake and we stay peacefully.
1. Is there any legal way to make her do so?
2. If not, I want to divorce her on cruelty ground and take custody of the child, who is of 10 years now. How do I gather proof of cruelty to convince the court?
3. Our earlier divorce suit is still unclosed. How can I learn its current status and what implications it will have if I file a new case?
