Hi guys,
After a driving lesson went sour and name calling from my wife, I stopped talking to her for about 3 weeks. I used to sleep in a separate room and cooked my own meals. My wife was cold and I tried to mitigate but wife was stubborn.
I went to India (Calcutta) to see my ailing dad and on the day I was coming back, my wife left with my 4.5year old daughter to Mumbai to her brothers. I came to an empty house and was shocked not to see them at home. I later learnt from my mother whom my wife called from Sydney airport informing her that they were leaving for Mumbai.
I have seen a lawyer and I was told it was parental child abduction and I have to beg on my knees to get them back because India is not a signatory to Hague convention. Once they are in the country, he can put the child on Airport Watchlist.
After exchanging hurtful and blaming-each-other emails, my wife is coming back with my daughter on 23rd Dec. I have emailed the lawyer to put the child on airport watchlist cause I don't want my wife to take her again. Mind you, wife is an unemployed lawyer with full practising licence of NSW.
Now, for 7 months, I haven't seen my daughter and went through depression and am now trying to get back on my feet. I want my wife back but for my daughter and not for me. I want to be separated without legal hassle. My wife complained she had no independence, so I have bought a car for her.
I am willing to give her half of whatever savings I have got and also willing to let her stay in the house where she hasn't contributed a cent (which I have never complained about). I want to move out and can sleep rough. But all I would want is access to my daughter whenever I want.
Can you guys please let me know if this is viable in family law? Do I still have to go through legal stuff to get divorced?
Thanks and regards
