About Family & Matrimonial Law

My Take on Family Law

Law shouldn't feel like a big panga (mess). I see people hesitate to talk to a lawyer, but honestly, our job is to make sense of your situation, not just fight cases. I stick by you through thick and thin, explaining your rights in plain Hindi-English, especially when family disputes mess with your head.

Divorce: Not Just Court Drama

Divorce is heavy. You can't file for it in the first year of marriage (Section 14, Hindu Marriage Act). Sometimes, judicial separation is better if you need space to think. Most divorces happen on grounds of cruelty – not just physical, but emotional too, like public shaming or being forced to abandon parents. Ignore movie myths, there’s no fixed alimony calculation process or property split formula—the court checks income, lifestyle, and more.

When False Accusations Happen

A lot of my work is defending families, mostly men, from false dowry or domestic violence cases. I make sure police don’t rush into arrests (I use Supreme Court rules for this). If the complaint is all over the place, I push for quashing false FIRs. And if you’re being blackmailed with fake cases, I help you collect proof for counter-action.

Child Custody: The Court Looks at the Kid’s Life

In child custody laws in India, the judge cares about the child’s welfare, not just who the kid wants to stay with. Maintenance is the father’s duty unless there’s solid proof he’s not the dad—DNA tests aren’t easy to get.

Family Lafda (Drama): More Than Just Fights

In-law issues, interference, emotional cruelty—all these count. A wife can stay in her matrimonial home, but her parents can’t. Mediation or restitution can sometimes fix things.

My Stand

I always push for gender-neutral family law advocacy. The law should protect everyone, and I call out misuse, especially against men. You should know where I stand.
