About Family & Matrimonial Law
Real Talk on Family Problems
Matrimonial issues pop up everywhere - divorce, alimony, custody, Domestic Violence cases. I break down the law in simple words, not legalese. Sabse pehle, I’ll say this: ghabra mat (don’t panic). Understanding your rights is step one.
Divorce & Settlements
I handle both mutual and contested divorces. Mutual consent divorce process is way smoother, less drama, and cheaper than fighting it out in court. But the MOU (agreement) is everything - don't sign blindly, read each line. If you’re living abroad, I can get things moving with Power of Attorney for NRI divorce and video hearings.
Contested divorce? It’s messy. Filing first can backfire, especially for men. Expect possible counter-cases like domestic violence or extra maintenance demands. Main grounds like mental cruelty (even stuff like fake cases or no intimacy) do hold up in court.
Alimony & Maintenance
No fixed formula here. Maintenance calculation in divorce depends on the court's view of earning capacity, not just salary. Wives can claim even if they left home, unless there’s proof of good income or hidden money. Not paying leads to big trouble - lost property, even jail.
Kids & Custody
Child custody rights in India come down to the kid’s welfare, not what parents want. Little ones (under 5) mostly go with mom, older ones - depends. Both parents pay for child maintenance. If you’re blocked from seeing your child, I can file for visitation.
Domestic Violence & Stridhan
I take up both sides in DV cases. Wives can claim the right to stay in the shared home and get back stridhan (her marriage gifts). If your family is stuck in a false DV case, I fight those too.
Modern Relationships
Live-in? Legal for adults. Prenup? Not valid, but MOU before marriage is doable. I’ll keep it straight - no sugarcoating, no false promises.

My Story
First-gen advocates like us, every day is a new lesson. From Vizag to Shimla, each case brings its own story, kuch sikhata hai (teaches something). Setting up our own office, that too with maa ka ashirwad (mom's blessings) and family ka support, was a dream. Litigation means no real holidays, just changing scenes. But work hard, party harder, that's our mantra. Life has ups and downs, but with a smile and some guts, we keep moving. Grateful for this journey, and those who walk with us.
