What to do if wife leaves kids and threatens custody?

My wife left our home without reason, leaving our two children (aged 4 and 6) with me. She now lives with her sick father in someone else’s house and threatens to take the children. She didn’t come when I tried to bring her back. What should I do?

File for child custody under Guardian and Wards Act and mention abandonment. Since she left the kids with you and is not in a stable home, the court may favor you. Also, send her a legal notice asking for explanation and deny informal handover without court order. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
