Reply To: DESPERATE FATHER FEELS HELPLESS! WIFE N IN-LAWS TERRORISING ME AND MY FAMILY

Getting girl child custody is difficult; you can ask for visitation, as you are not in india its very difficult to get custody even after 5 year of her age.

if your wife side trouble you, your mother can file petition or compalint against you both, so you can keep them safe from your wifes any false case.

get a small rented house and keep your wife and child there.

keep all records of their threats and payment done by you.

once you are out of mother house you can give talaq and if you have enough proof of her harassment or if she educated and was working you cn counter thier maintenance too.
