Modern Relationships and Family Law

Your Rights, Simplified

Modern relationships are diverse, and the law has had to adapt to keep up. We believe that whether you are in a live-in relationship, planning an inter-faith marriage, or exploring surrogacy, you should have full awareness of your legal position.

Live-in Relationships and Legal Protection

Many couples are unaware that stable, long-term live-in relationships can carry specific legal protections. Courts have recognized that partners in such arrangements may be entitled to relief under the Domestic Violence Act. We help you understand the criteria for a 'legally recognized' partnership and how to assert your rights if a dispute arises.

Inter-faith Marriages

The Special Marriage Act of 1954 is a powerful tool that allows two adults from different religions to marry without the need for conversion. We guide you through the process, from the initial notice filing to the final registration, ensuring you understand the legal timelines and requirements. This is your right under the Constitution, and we ensure you have the support to exercise it.

Rights of Children

Regardless of how a couple is united, the law prioritizes the welfare of the child. Courts have affirmed that children born to live-in couples are legitimate and hold the same rights to maintenance and inheritance as children born to married parents. We assist you in establishing these rights and resolving custody concerns effectively.

Surrogacy Regulations

Surrogacy in India is governed by strict, specific legislation focused on altruistic practices. If you are exploring this route, you must navigate complex medical and legal documentation. We provide a clear roadmap of the Surrogacy Regulation Act to ensure you are compliant and protected throughout the process.

Our approach is to listen to your specific situation, remove the guesswork, and provide a clear roadmap. You do not have to manage these legal complexities alone.
