Frequently Asked Questions
We are a team of dedicated family law advocates practising across the courts of India, with over 20 years of combined experience in matrimonial disputes, domestic violence protection, child custody, and NRI divorce matters.
What documents are needed to file a divorce petition in Delhi?
These documents will be necessary: Marriage Certificate / Marriage Registration Certificate, proof of identity, photos, income proof, proof of residence of both individuals, and every document proof that you may need to provide reasons to file for divorce, such as medical report, chat transcript, FIR, and witness testimonies.
How long does a divorce case take in India?
A mutual divorce case typically takes around 6-18 months in India. This duration may increase depending on court procedures, hearing dates, and the complexity of the case. The duration of a contested divorce case may range between 1-3 years or more, depending on the number of disputes involved (grounds, custody, maintenance, property), the grounds being raised, the number of court hearings held, and appeal proceedings.
Are there any grounds to file for divorce specifically for women in India?
Women can seek divorce on special grounds of the husband’s bigamous marriage and guilt of sexual offences, like rape, sodomy, or bestiality, and if the court granted maintenance, but no cohabitation was resumed for 1 year. The wife can divorce on the option of puberty when married before the age of 15 years, where she can give up the marriage before attaining 18 years.
What if my husband deliberately delays the divorce case by not appearing in court?
If your husband deliberately skips court appearances, the court can pass an ex parte order to grant you a divorce in his absence, after giving sufficient chances.
How is child custody decided in a mutual divorce?
In a mutually agreed divorce case, the issue of child custody arises depending upon the mutual agreement of both individuals considering the best interest of the child. This can be done by providing options for sole custody, joint custody, and visiting rights.
Is a divorce obtained from a foreign country valid in India?
Foreign divorce does not automatically get recognised in India. They must be validated by the court to ensure their compliance with Indian laws. The foreign divorce must not be unfair (ex parte without notice), illegal (fraud), or not on grounds not legally recognised in India(no-fault grounds).
Can I get full child custody if my spouse has bad lifestyle habits?
Absolutely, however, you need enough proof to convince the court about it. It would be easy for you to convince the court that their activities, such as drinking, night life, or gambling are responsible for the negligence of the child in all aspects.
Can a husband claim maintenance from his wife?
Yes, but only under specific personal law provisions, like sections 24 and 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. These provisions are gender neutral regarding maintenance claims. But he has stricter conditions to prove, including the physical or mental incapacity to earn income or financial distress.
Are women in live-in relations protected under the DV Act?
Yes, because the definition of the relationship of “the nature of marriage” would imply that you have indeed been living together as a couple for quite some time now. Thus, you can avail all those rights which a married woman can claim.
Can a contested divorce be converted to a mutual divorce?
You can convert a contested divorce to a mutual divorce if both sides voluntarily agree and settle their dispute with a written Memorandum of Understanding. They can amend their existing petition to a mutual divorce petition by filing a joint application.
