Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a mutual consent divorce take?

The couple must have lived separately for at least one year before filing. The law provides a 6-month gap between the first and second motions, which courts can waive in suitable cases.

Can a wife claim maintenance while the divorce case is pending?

Yes. Interim maintenance can be sought during the proceedings, for example under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act.

Who gets custody of the child?

Courts decide custody based on the welfare of the child, considering factors such as age, education and stability.

Is mediation compulsory in divorce cases?

Family Courts usually refer parties to mediation or counselling first, to explore settlement before trial.
