        We have been married for 15 Years, have 2 kids. We both work in IT. She cheated for over 6 months with a co-worker. But, right now, I don’t have proofs that can be presented in court to prove adultery. What’s the best possible way to separate ?

        Local lawyers are suggesting Contested divorce ( I suspect since they charge more for contested divorce compared to mutual divorce ) but since I don’t have solid proof, contested divorce could take long time and not go in my way. Is better to talk to her and convince her for mutual divorce ?

        What can I do to make divorce favorable to me ? in terms of maintenance and child custody ? Kids are 4 and 6 years old. I earn about 10L per year more than her.

        I have a flat on my name that I bought before marriage and most other assets are in Mutual Funds that are invested on my name. Some of these Mutual Funds were bought with her money as well. Some assets in Crypto as well.

        Please guide.

          Why do you want custody of children? How do you know they are yours? Just get rid of it with minimum financial losses. Life will give you ample opportunities to get back at her. It’s time for a tactical retreat here.

            OP is relying on location. He doesn’t have solid evidence.

              What you have in your hand are only suspicions and not proofs. Reading your notes, no one can conclude conclusively that your wife is cheating. Not sure courts will entertain!

                  Agreed. As harsh as it may sound, OP doesn’t have any concrete proof of cheating. Any sort of aggression at this point will only backfire.

                  In India, it is extremely difficult to prove adultery. Courts are mostly sympathetic towards the girl.

                  Now for your case, hire a detective. Do this for your peace of mind (I know ironical) and to show her the proofs. You can even visit the hotel on your own. Try to make friends with the receptionist and offer some money to get cctv footage or register entry. Every hotel is required by law to possess id proofs of guests. (Everything is available for sale in our corrupt country if you know how and whom to approach).

                  Once you have those, and you decide to separate sit with her calmly, ask her what she has been upto. Then try to separate on mutually amicable terms. Do not try to involve legal in between, again saying Indian courts are completely biased towards the girl and this especially is true as you move above from lower to HC to SC.

                  Now, another angle as a devil’s advocate. It may just be a figment of your imagination. she may be visiting a chai tapri etc nearby or some hotel for a good meal with coworkers. Tread with caution.

                    I keep seeing these videos by YouTube channel – better call Amish, he says having proof of cheating does not help like it does in the west, please see his videos for the next few hours, you will get a perspective on dos and donts

                      If you know the hotel, you can check to see if she visited there and with whom and see if they have any footage.

                            Don’t rush into anything, if she is having an affair,she will get back to u and ask for a divorce, normally woman having a fling will stop having a with u , but in this case she has not stopped, there must be some thing missing in your marriage, check what it is, or else pretend to book a ticket to Thailand and keep a tab of her activities by tracking the vehicle or phone.

                              NAL . Even if she cheated , i think you will have to pay all the alimony and kids will stay with her . I would just go with mutual divorce without bringing cheating up if you don’t have proof . Just clean exit

                                  Have a word with her first and then come to a conclusion.

                                  15 years in a relationship is not a joke so ask her or tell if she wanted to go separate sometime like that…

                                    I think you may be reaching …. She seems to be trying to accommodate your worries she is not gaslighting you … you have zero proof other than cell tower data that is not extremely accurate…

                                      I went through something similar. I wish I could tell you an easy way out but there are none. It’s easy for people to say her PI and Divorce etc but everything is just torture, soon families will get involved and just add to the trauma.

                                      Send legal paper for mutual separation agreement, list adultery as a reason (no need to provide proof or anything) just keep saying you have ample proof. See her reaction, and take it from there.

                                          Reading cases like these often, the result of all is men gets fkd up financially no matter what!

                                          If u transfer ownership of assets before filing divorce itll actually favour your wife and she will get almost majority (sometimes all) part of ur assets even if u transfer it to your mom!

                                          Just liquidate all ur assets to gold and put in in safe cold storage somewhere already. Its better to lose few lakhs in liquidation process than losing everything to her. Dont let her know anything untill u liquidated all of your assets. Untill liquidating ur flat, rent a luxury condo so that she doesn’t dig deep into why u guys moving out of flat.

                                            Get her last five years of income tax records, bank statements and salary slips. This will come handy as her proof of income as during divorce cases many people lie about their income.

                                                I think the best solution is to bring this up to her and go for a mutual divorce . This way neither of you will get hurt and both can go separate way without any issue.

                                                  If she had jio sim…login her my jio account in ur phone. In this way you can track call records. Use truecaller to get information about the numbers. May be this will help in some way.

                                                    Be a lion. Do u know how lions hunt? It’s definitely not like in bollywood movies where the hero challenges openly. Lions hide and wait for the perfect opportunity to strike. Hire a pvt detective. And track her locations she visits. Once she is in a hotel/room with her partner catch them there.

                                                    FYI – while catching don’t go alone. Take some people with you. Use a bodycam to record while they are in bed and you caught them. And make a scene out of it, shout at the top of your voice infront of everyone (so loud that neighbours come quickly) while they lay naked in bed. And make sure that it is viral. Congratulations friend you just proved adultery. The question is will our shameless judiciary still bother you or leave you for that you need a good lawyer.

                                                        You don’t have proof or any evidence I don’t believe shes cheating just based on what you have lol hire someone for a week to investigate and watch her moves when you’re 100% sure and see her with a man or have text proof then I suggest you liquidate everything and buy gold bars and hide them then proceed with divorce

                                                          Doesnt matter court will side with lady even if you have evidence
                                                          There are some recent case where biased court charged husband for collecting evidence explicit without consent lol
                                                          I think you should try another ways court ain’t gonna do shit
                                                          And if someone is saying otherwise then FAFO

                                                                    Get more details of the co worker and his mobile number etc and get call details of the same period for him to see that they both are in the same location at the same time.

                                                                    This is just for your sadistic trip, not going to help legally.
                                                                    Unless you are able to convince court to get these call records officially (they are available for 2 years) and then try to use it as evidence but merely present at the same location at same time implies nothing.

                                                                    Ask your PI to click pictures etc and you try to get her mobile phone or take photos or screen recording and get hotel check in records and try to bribe etc and get hotel CCTV recording … but all these are little far fetched

                                                                    Imp: proving adultery in court is almost impossible
                                                                    Very rare cases

                                                                    Have you talked to her or tried some counselling maybe it’s something else since by your message it looks more like your suspicion or intuition etc
                                                                    Have you tried to engage with families and or society people to sort out

                                                                    Mutually is only when she also agrees but may also back out

                                                                    Maintence would have to be paid irrespective of anything. Take care black coat brothers will tell her to file bouquet of 3-4 cases and they all will end up in out of court settlement but after harassment and tension etc

                                                                    but not to worry much since your wedding is 15 years unless you had issues problems earlier and she reported them to police or called 112 or hospital MLC etc she won’t be able to cause you much harm 15 years is long time and mostly takes out the fizz of all legal cases per se.

                                                                    I again suggest you both need to have counselling, to sort out amongst yourself first- courts will also refer you first for counselling and then mediation before the cases start moving fwd

                                                                              Especially below actions really confirms that it is his paranoia and nothing else.

                                                                              Initial sings of cheating that led me to suspect cheating :

                                                                              She mentioned couple of times that she feels, she is doing something wrong but not sure what. when I asked few times – she gave me different answer each time.

                                                                              Out of blue, She mentioned that she doesn’t want this family to break.

                                                                              On few occasions – during sex, she avoided kissing me

                                                                              Out of blue, she suggested that I should go on a vacation in Thailand alone.

                                                                                First of all create a trust and transfer all property into that trust. The beneficiaries of the trust could be your parents and kids. Always keep your wife also as a beneficiary so that she couldn’t claim that you transferred whole property before divorce.
                                                                                ( visit a lawyer to know and plan about all this trust thing)

                                                                                After the above step completion start accumulating proofs. If you think you have enough proofs then gather more proofs just in case…

                                                                                Only after all this let her know that you got this proofs and want to mutually divorce.

                                                                              • #33199 Reply

                                                                                  Get a voice-activated recorder. Put it in her car or in the house when you are not there.

                                                                                  You have to get proof before confronting her. Do not do it without the proof. She will deflect and gaslight you. What you currently have is nothing. It will not stand in court.

                                                                                  To prove infidelity, Indian courts need evidence of physical intimacy.

                                                                                  Being a male, odds are stacked against you in terms of custody and alimony. Going for divorce without proof puts in a very difficult situation. Try to convince her for mutual divorce for sure, but only after getting proper proof.

                                                                                  PIs in India are useless and almost a scam.

                                                                                  Again! Do not confront without evidence and never show her the full evidence. You can tell her what you know but don’t show it to her if possible.

                                                                                • #33198 Reply

Your investments would be divided, you’ll have to provide child support. But then you’ll atleast have the money from the house etc.
