Husband ignores responsibilities—can I get divorce and support?

I want a divorce from my husband because he ignores all responsibilities towards our two small children and me. He often argues when I raise the issue. I have been managing everything alone for 12 years while working. His taunts and arguments are mentally exhausting. What can I do legally?

You can file for divorce under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act for cruelty and desertion. Since he neglects responsibilities and mentally harasses you, the court may also grant child custody and maintenance. Gather proof like messages, witnesses, or prior complaints if available.
