About

Navigating family and divorce law in India can feel overwhelming. I get that - emotions run high, and the legal jargon doesn’t make it easier. My approach is straight up: break down the process, so you actually know what’s happening and what’s possible.

Divorce Paths: Mutual or Contested

If both partners want out, mutual consent divorce is usually smoother. We sort out alimony, child custody arrangements, and splitting stuff - all clearly explained, no hidden surprises. Courts ask for a cooling-off period (six months), but sometimes we can get that waived if you’ve got a strong reason.

If things aren’t mutual, then it’s a contested divorce. Here, you need solid grounds - cruelty, desertion, adultery. I’ll help you figure out if your situation fits and what’s next.

What Counts as Cruelty?

Honestly, it’s not just about physical harm. Mental cruelty is a big deal in Indian courts. Stuff like constant taunts, false police cases, forcing you to quit work, or no intimacy can all add up. You’ll need proof - chats, emails, witness statements, even medical records.

Filing Basics

You can’t file for divorce in the first year of marriage. Where to file? Depends - could be where you got married, lived together last, or where the wife lives now.

If you want clarity and someone to walk you through the mutual consent divorce process, or you’re unsure about grounds for contested divorce, I’m here to help, no drama.
