Answer 1

ASSALAM-0-ALAIKUM, You can give verbal divorce/talaq to your wife than submit an application (provide details of talaq) to your area's UC Chairman. UC Chaiman will call you and your wife/her representative and would try reconciliation between you two. If any of you refuse to continue the marriage than UC Chairman will legalize the divorce. (All this will be done within 30 days). Please Note that under Muslim Family Law Ordinance 1964, your talaq would be legally recognized after 90 Days from the day you give Talaq to your wife, including 30 Days of UC Chairman's procedure. You cannot give your wife Talaq if she is pregnant. OR Hire a lawyer, File a divorce case in the Family Court and take Talaq from there. (Period of 90 Days would still be assumed to legally establish the talaq). You can ask for child's custody in same case or file a new case for the custody. Your Choice
