About Family & Matrimonial Law

Why I Do What I Do

Legal awareness is lacking, and I see it every day. Bohot log apne rights nahi jaante (many people don't know their rights) and suffer quietly. For me, law is not just rules - it's a fight for fairness. 'Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah' (Law protects those who protect it) is something I live by. If you want to stand up for yourself, I'll stand with you. Justice takes time, but giving up isn’t my style.

My Take on Family & Matrimonial Law

Family disputes get messy. I don’t sugarcoat, I go straight to the point. Filing your first complaint sets the tone for everything, so we get it right from the start. Sometimes, talking works, sometimes you need a strong fight. I never forget that kids often get stuck in the crossfire, so I handle child custody disputes in India with care.

What I Handle

  • Mutual consent divorce process & contested divorce
  • Maintenance calculation in divorce - both sides, whether you need support or face exaggerated demands
  • Domestic Violence (DV): Not just physical, also mental, emotional, and financial abuse
  • Child custody, Stridhan recovery legal advice
  • NRI divorce decree validation - foreign divorce isn’t always valid here

Reality Check on Maintenance & DV

No set formula. Courts look at actual lifestyle, not just pay slips. Even unemployed folks have earning capacity. Maintenance can be denied if adultery or desertion is proven. Domestic violence isn’t only about maar-peet (physical fights) – it covers verbal, financial, and emotional abuse too. Mothers-in-law can also file DV cases.

I Don’t Support Misuse

I’ve seen laws misused. Men’s rights matter too. If you’re facing false cases, keep records, file counter-complaints, and track her financials. Fairness is for all.

If you’re NRI, there’s a whole different process – Indian courts must validate your foreign divorce. Not simple, but I guide you through.

My Story

10 saal ho gaye iss field mein. Fierce hoon, fearless bhi, par sabse zyada justice ka junoon hai. Log apne rights hi nahi jaante – yahi toh problem hai. Main kehti hoon, har sawaal ka jawaab kitabon mein nahi, ek achhe vakeel ke anubhav mein hota hai (not every answer is in books, but in a good lawyer’s experience). News channels pe bhi aayi hoon, podcasts bhi kiye, kyunki legal awareness sabka haq hai. Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah – kanoon unka saath deta hai jo sach ke liye ladte hain. Aap ready ho toh main aapke saath hoon.

My Work

Matrimonial, Criminal, Civil & Corporate Law - Shaadi ka jhagda ho ya false dowry case defence, criminal complaint drafting, ya office ka dispute – sab handle karti hoon.

Lawyer ko shuru se lao (Get a lawyer from Day 1) - Apna complaint khud mat likho, galat shuru ho gaya toh case weak ho jata hai. Drafting matters.

Saboot sabse zaroori (Evidence is key) - Divorce ya koi bhi case – audio, chats, video sab sambhal ke rakho. Isi pe case jeet/haar tay hoti hai.

Maintenance ka koi fixed formula nahi - 50% ya 75% dena padta hai? Bilkul galat. Court sab check karta hai – income, lifestyle, sab kuch.

Fair fight – women’s safety bhi, men’s rights bhi - Genuine cases ho toh support karti hoon, lekin galat misuse pe bhi stand leti hoon. Justice sabke liye.
