About Family & Matrimonial Law
Navigating family law in India isn’t straightforward. I break down the process, your rights, and options so you understand where you stand. Law gets complicated and, frankly, emotional too. My aim is simple - empower you with clear info, not legal jargon.
Divorce Types & Grounds
Divorce isn’t easy, but knowing the basics helps. There’s mutual consent divorce if both partners agree, or contested divorce when there’s disagreement. I deal with grounds for contested divorce like cruelty (physical, mental), adultery (even social media posts matter), desertion (two years plus), and irretrievable breakdown.
What Else Do I Handle?
- Alimony calculation process: Courts look at income, age, health, marriage duration.
- Child custody rights in India: The child’s best interest is key. Sometimes, the child’s own choice matters.
- Domestic violence protections: Physical, emotional, economic - I help you get protection orders, residence orders, and monetary relief.
Complex Family Situations
- Live-in relationships? Not a legal marriage, but partners and children have rights.
- Annulments for forced, fraudulent marriages or bigamy.
Straight Talk
Restitution ke case ka durupyog bhi hota hai (Sometimes, restitution cases are misused). Aapko savdhan rehna chahiye (Be careful). With the right advice, you can protect yourself and get through the system without losing your peace.

My Story
We’re Kapil Dixit LLP, but honestly, it’s all about the people here. Started small, grew big because our clients trusted us. You’ll spot Saritha Sharma (Managing Partner) and the rest of our team hustling at our Bengaluru office or sometimes waving our 'Team KDC' flag at crazy places like Kardungala Peak! We love our Karnataka roots—Karnataka Rajyotsavada Shubhashayagalu! (Happy Karnataka Formation Day!)—but our work stretches from Bangalore to the Supreme Court in Delhi. Justice, team spirit, and a bit of adventure—yup, that’s us.
My Work
What We Do - Family law (divorce, alimony, child custody, domestic violence), election law, property disputes, cheque bounce cases, cyber defamation, business litigation. High Court to Supreme Court.
How We Work - We break down the mutual consent divorce process and child custody legal advice, so you actually get what’s going on. No jargon.
Guiding You Through - First consult, then petition, maybe mediation, then trial. Step by step, with real talk.
Know Your Rights - Cruelty isn’t just physical. Dowry demands, false accusations, or refusing sex—all can be legal grounds for divorce.
Be Cautious - Laws can get twisted. Restitution ke case ka durupyog ho sakta hai (restitution can be misused). Right advice matters.
