About Family Law
Real Talk About Family Law
Family fights get messy. It’s not like the serials - you feel stuck, drained, and sometimes you just want things to end. I’m not here to give false hope. My style is straight up: I break down the process, the risks, and the reality so you know what you’re up against.
How I Work
Being a first-gen lawyer, I know kanoon hai (the law is there), but you also need to be smart and strategic. I’m all about evidence, not drama - I’ll tell you what’s doable and what’s just not worth chasing. I handle everything myself in court, arguing your side and making sure the facts get noticed.
What I Take Up
- Contested divorce procedure, including mental cruelty - especially if you’re dealing with fake accusations.
- False dowry case defense (dahej waali cases). When someone tries to trap you with 498A or domestic violence, it’s not about trust, it’s about breaking their claims with solid proof.
- Maintenance dispute strategy. I go by what’s legal, not what’s emotional. If you’re worried about financial settlements, I’ll build your case with proper evidence, not stuff that gets thrown out.
- Child custody battles. When your kids are involved, I make sure your side is heard loud and clear - because courts care about their welfare above all.
Navigating Delhi Courts
You’ll find me fighting cases in Delhi High Court, all district courts (Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Rohini), and the major tribunals. The system can be slow, sometimes even frustrating - but I’m here to fight alongside you, not sugar-coat it. Ek orr klesh suru ho gaya? (Another headache started?) I get it. Let’s face it head-on.

My Story
So, I’m Mohit Gautam – first-gen lawyer, no fancy suits or big cars, just me, my files, and the Delhi courts from Rohini to Tis Hazari. My ‘Happy New Year’ is more like ‘Happy New Bare Act’! Between court runs, metro rides, and late-night city lights, I find time for my family (and yes, my English in Instagram posts for my sister is hilarious). Sometimes life feels lonely, but I’m all about self-care and gratitude. Sit alone, you’ll get your answers.
