I’m contesting divorce with my wife. She agreed to mutual divorce but now wants custody of our 11-year-old son and maintenance. I’m unemployed, my son stays with me and doesn’t want to go. Can I delay counselling or file custody?
Yes, you can request alternate counselling dates. You may also file a child custody case under the Guardians and Wards Act. The child’s wish is considered at his age. You can also challenge her maintenance claim if you’re jobless. Avoid forcing mutual consent if issues aren’t resolved. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
