Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about divorce and family law in India

Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, common grounds include cruelty, adultery, desertion (2+ years), mental illness, conversion to another religion, leprosy, venereal disease, renunciation of worldly life, presumption of death (7+ years missing), and mutual consent. For mutual consent divorce under Section 13B, the couple must have been living separately for at least 1 year and mutually agree that the marriage has broken down irretrievably.
Mutual consent divorce typically takes 6 to 12 months from filing to final decree. The law mandates a 6-month cooling-off period (waivable by the court in exceptional cases). Contested divorce can take 1 to 3 years depending on the complexity, number of hearings, and court backlog. Appeals can extend the timeline further.
Alimony (permanent alimony) is a one-time lump sum or periodic payment made to the spouse after the divorce is finalized. Maintenance (interim maintenance) is paid during the pendency of divorce proceedings to support the spouse who cannot maintain themselves. Both are calculated based on the spouse's income, standard of living during marriage, and other factors.
Indian courts decide child custody based on the best interests of the child principle. Factors considered include the child's age, wishes (if mature enough), financial stability of each parent, emotional bonds, and ability to provide a stable environment. For children under 5, mothers are generally preferred. The Guardian and Wards Act, 1890 and the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 govern custody matters.
Yes, you can file for a contested divorce on specific grounds such as cruelty, adultery, desertion, or mental illness. You do not need your spouse's consent. However, you must prove the grounds with credible evidence. The process takes longer and requires court appearances. Our lawyers will guide you on the strongest grounds applicable to your case.
For mutual consent divorce, both parties need to appear at least twice — once at the time of filing the first motion (joint petition) and once after the 6-month cooling-off period for the second motion and final decree. Some courts allow virtual appearances via video conferencing. For contested divorces, your presence may be required for evidence and cross-examination. Our lawyers attend all routine hearings on your behalf.
Not necessarily. Mutual consent divorce through our Professional plan costs just ₹4,999 — a very affordable option compared to traditional law firms charging ₹25,000-₹50,000. Contested divorces cost more due to multiple hearings and evidence preparation. We offer transparent, fixed pricing with no hidden fees. Free initial consultation is always available.
Yes, NRIs can file for divorce in India if the marriage was solemnized in India, the couple last resided together in India, or the respondent resides in India. Our Premium plan includes complete online handling for NRI divorces — from power of attorney to virtual court appearances. We also handle cases under the Special Marriage Act for inter-faith and civil marriages.
Required documents include: marriage certificate, proof of residence, income proof of both parties (salary slips, IT returns), photographs of marriage, evidence of separation, proof of children's birth (if applicable), and evidence supporting grounds of divorce (for contested cases). Our team provides a complete checklist and helps arrange all documentation.
