Expert Family Law & Relationship Guidance in Delhi

A contested divorce is filed when one spouse wants to separate but the other does not agree, or when both parties cannot agree on the terms. This type of divorce petition is based on specific grounds like cruelty, desertion, or mental disorder.

If your spouse has left the matrimonial home without any reasonable cause, you can file a petition under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act. This is for the Restitution of Conjugal Rights, where the court can order your spouse to return.

A Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU, is a written agreement drafted before filing for divorce. It outlines all the agreed-upon terms like permanent alimony, child custody, and division of assets to prevent future disputes.

What is the difference between an annulment and a divorce? An annulment declares a marriage legally invalid from the start, as if it never happened, based on grounds like invalid consent or underage marriage. A divorce, on the other hand, ends a legally valid marriage.

Section 498A was created to protect women from cruelty, but it has become a controversial topic due to its misuse in falsely implicating husbands and their families. The Law Ministry is now reviewing these provisions to ensure fairness for all.

My goal is not always separation. I believe in providing the right legal guidance to help you address your issues effectively. I focus on resolution and finding common ground before considering divorce as the only option.

Want to disown your child from your property? You can only do so from your self-acquired property, not ancestral property. The process involves a public notice in two local newspapers or executing a will that clearly states your intention.

Be careful what you post online during a marital dispute. Social media platforms can become virtual witnesses in court, where status updates and comments can be used as evidence of your conduct and state of mind.

In any relationship, your tone matters as much as your words. A valid point delivered in a rude manner can cause damage. Communication without humility is just noise, a lesson I often share with my clients.
