What Our Divorce Legal Services Cover
Divorce cases in India are handled under various personal laws — Hindu Marriage Act, Special Marriage Act, Muslim Personal Law, and others. The process, timelines, and legal requirements differ depending on your situation. We handle both main types:
- Mutual Divorce — where both parties agree to separate. This is faster, less stressful, and can often be resolved in 6 to 18 months.
- Contested Divorce — where one party files against the other’s wishes. These cases involve grounds such as cruelty, desertion, adultery, or irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
We also assist with related matters including alimony and maintenance, child custody and visitation rights, domestic violence cases, protection orders, matrimonial property disputes, and restitution of conjugal rights.
