A: Spouses must have lived separately for at least one year before filing a joint petition. After the first motion the law provides a six-month waiting period before the second motion, which the court can waive in suitable cases. In practice it usually takes about 6 to 9 months, and less if the waiting period is waived. Q: Can the six-month waiting period in mutual divorce be waived? A: Yes, in suitable cases. The Supreme Court has held the period is not mandatory and the family court can waive it if the spouses have been separated for a long time, mediation has failed and all terms such as alimony and custody are settled. It is the court's decision in each case. Q: What is the difference between mutual and contested divorce? A: In a mutual consent divorce both spouses agree to separate and settle all terms. In a contested divorce one spouse disagrees, so the court decides after hearing both sides, which usually takes longer. Q: Can I get a divorce if my spouse does not agree? A: Yes. You can file a contested divorce petition on a legal ground such as cruelty or desertion and prove it with evidence. The court decides after hearing both sides. Q: What are the grounds for divorce in India? A: Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, grounds include cruelty, desertion for at least two years, adultery, conversion, unsoundness of mind, a serious communicable disease, renunciation of the world, or the spouse not being heard of as alive for seven years. Spouses can also divorce by mutual consent. Other personal laws have their own grounds. Q: Can I file for divorce within one year of marriage? A: Ordinarily no (Section 14, Hindu Marriage Act). The court can allow it earlier only in cases of exceptional hardship to the petitioner or exceptional depravity by the other spouse. Q: Can a father get child custody in India? A: Yes. Courts decide custody on the welfare of the child, not on whether the parent is the father or mother, considering the child's age, stability, schooling and, where old enough, the child's wishes. Q: How is alimony decided? A: There is no fixed formula. The court considers both spouses' income and assets, length of marriage, standard of living, needs of children and earning capacity. It can be monthly or a one-time settlement; in mutual consent divorce the spouses agree on it themselves. Q: Can an NRI file for divorce in India? A: Yes, if the Indian court has jurisdiction. Usually marriage proof, passport and visa copies, address proofs in India and abroad, and a power of attorney if not present. In some cases appearance can be by video conferencing with the court's permission. Q: What documents are required for a mutual consent divorce? A: Usually the marriage certificate, marriage photographs, ID and address proofs of both spouses, passport-size photographs, proof of living separately for at least one year, income details and the agreed terms on alimony, custody and property. Both spouses sign the joint petition and appear in court. Q: How much does a divorce lawyer cost in Delhi? A: Fees depend on whether the divorce is mutual or contested, the complexity, the court and the number of hearings. Fees are discussed clearly at the free consultation.
