Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a mutual divorce take?
Under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, mutual consent divorce requires a minimum 6-month cooling-off period from the first motion, which can be waived by the court in exceptional cases. The entire process typically takes 6–18 months.
Can a father get custody of a child?
Yes. While courts generally favour the child's welfare over parental gender, custody decisions depend on the child's age, emotional bonds, financial stability, and the parent's ability to provide a nurturing environment. We present strong evidence to support your case.
What relief can I get under the Domestic Violence Act?
The DV Act provides for protection orders, residence orders (right to stay in the shared household), monetary relief, compensation for injuries, and temporary custody of children. We guide clients through the magistrate court process efficiently.
