Regarding your query about your wife's custody petition, she can indeed file for khulla at her current place of residence, and she can include a custody case along with it. However, if she chooses to file the custody case separately from the khulla petition, there are some legal considerations to keep in mind. The law doesn't explicitly support filing it separately beyond the jurisdiction where the children currently reside. Therefore, it's crucial to address this matter carefully and ensure all legal requirements are met.
