Mutual-consent or contested divorce?
A mutual-consent divorce is based on an agreed settlement between both spouses, including arrangements for finances, maintenance, children and shared property. A contested divorce may be required when the parties cannot agree or when one spouse seeks relief on a legally recognised ground. The suitable route depends on the facts, available documents and the parties’ objectives.
Child custody and maintenance
In custody matters, courts give primary importance to the welfare and best interests of the child. We assist with parenting arrangements, visitation, interim applications and enforcement. We also advise on maintenance claims by spouses, children and eligible dependants, including the financial information and supporting documents that may be required.
How we assist
Our lawyers review the facts confidentially, explain available remedies, prepare petitions and replies, represent clients in negotiations and court proceedings, and pursue a practical resolution wherever possible. No outcome can be guaranteed; every matter depends on its own facts and applicable law.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a divorce take in India?
The timeline varies according to the type of divorce, court schedule, disputed issues and cooperation between the parties. A lawyer can provide a more realistic estimate after reviewing the particular facts.
What documents are generally needed?
Common documents include proof of marriage, identity and address records, financial information, relevant communications and documents concerning children or property. The exact list depends on the relief sought.
Can custody and maintenance be decided before the divorce ends?
Courts may consider interim custody, visitation and maintenance applications while the main case is pending, subject to the applicable law and circumstances.
Can a matrimonial dispute be resolved through mediation?
Many family disputes can be referred to mediation. A settlement is voluntary and should clearly address all important issues before it is recorded before the appropriate court.
