About Family & Matrimonial Law
Why Family Law Feels Overwhelming
Honestly, family and matrimonial law gets messy. People come with all sorts of questions and galatfehmiyan (misconceptions) like, "If my wife earns, does she still get maintenance?" Ya phir (or) "Can dowry cases even be filed after seven years?" I like to keep things real and break down exactly what the law says, so you actually know your rights. Fighting for justice isn’t easy, but with the right info and approach, you’ll be prepared.
Divorce Options - Quick or Slow
When it comes to ending a marriage, you’ve got two main roads:
- Mutual consent divorce process: If both agree, things move fast, from filing to final order in just a few months.
- Contested divorce: If it’s messy, don’t expect quick results. These cases drag, sometimes for years, and can climb up to Supreme Court.
No marriage certificate? No stress. Wedding photos or invites work as proof.
Money, Maintenance, and Myths
Most confusion is about maintenance rights for spouses. Courts look at your whole lifestyle, not just earnings. Even a working wife can get maintenance if there’s an income gap. And quitting your job won’t help you dodge payments - courts look at your past income and skills. Both sides have to submit detailed financial affidavits.
Allegations and Legal Trouble
Facing domestic violence or Section 498A (dowry) claims is tough. These cases can be about emotional and financial abuse too, not just physical. If the case is false, don’t ignore court summons. We can build a strong defense or even file counter-cases if needed.
Kids - Custody and Visitation
When it comes to child custody legal rights, courts only care about the kid’s welfare. Physical custody decides where the child lives; visitation lets the other parent stay connected. Joint custody means big life choices are shared.
Live-In Relationships
Legal protection for live-in relationships is much better now. Women can claim maintenance and kids from these relationships get inheritance rights. But after a breakup, serious legal risks can pop up if marriage was promised.
Legal Hacks That Matter
A solid settlement (MOU) in mutual divorce is key - no shortcuts here. Evidence matters a lot: WhatsApp chats, social media posts, and bank records can swing your case. We get creative with strategy so your side is strong from day one.

My Story
Court mein jab log aate hain, khaaskar shaadi ke jhagde leke, sab confuse aur dare hue lagte hain. Mujhe yaad hai ek case, ek baap ko saalon tak apne bachche se milne nahi diya gaya. Jab court ne unko milne diya, uski aankhon mein jo sukoon tha, woh kabhi nahi bhoolungi. Aaj kal sab kuch badal raha hai, aur is badlaav mein, galat cases bhi badh gaye hain. Mera kaam hai sahi ko sahi, galat ko galat kehna, aur har kisi ki awaaz court tak pohochana.
