About Family Law
I know family law can feel overwhelming, especially when emotions are running high. My aim is to break down the legal jargon and help you make sense of your options, whether you’re dealing with separation, divorce, or property issues. I want you to feel supported, not lost in the system.
Divorce: Mutual Consent & Contested
- Mutual consent divorce is quickest if both partners agree - sometimes the court waives the six-month wait.
- Contested divorce means one side disagrees, and you’ll need to prove grounds like emotional cruelty in divorce or adultery. If granted, there’s a 90-day appeal window before remarriage is possible.
What Counts as 'Cruelty'?
- It’s not just physical harm. Mental distress and false criminal cases (like fake dowry charges - “arre, galat case file mat karo” [hey, don’t file a wrong case]) also count as cruelty now.
Maintenance & Financial Support
- Maintenance rights in divorce aren’t automatic; if both partners earn similarly or someone hides income, courts may deny it.
- I’ll help you with claims, whether you’re asking for support or defending yourself.
Other Legal Paths
- Restoration of conjugal rights petition can be filed if your spouse leaves without reason - works for both men and women.
- Property rights of widow are protected; widows keep their right to husband’s property even after remarriage.
My Approach
I push for quicker resolutions because dragging things out helps no one. Whether you’re in Bangalore or need help at higher courts, I’ll walk with you, explain your rights, and keep things real and simple.

My Story
Hi, I'm Abhilash. Law wasn't always my comfort zone – I used to freeze up before debates and presentations. But I pushed through, and now, I stand tall, arguing cases and even judging moot courts. That college win? Still makes me smile. Five years into independent practice, I love that I get to choose my own path (and holidays!). Nothing's easy, but if you keep at it, you shine. That's been my truth.
