Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a mutual consent divorce take in India?

A mutual consent divorce typically takes 6 to 18 months. After filing the joint petition, courts require a mandatory 6-month cooling-off period before the second motion hearing. In some cases, the Supreme Court has waived this period where the marriage has irretrievably broken down.

Yes. Indian courts have jurisdiction over matrimonial matters if the marriage was solemnised in India or either party is an Indian citizen. Notice can be served to your spouse abroad through proper legal channels, and proceedings can continue in their absence under certain conditions.

The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 provides for Protection Orders (preventing further abuse), Residence Orders (right to stay in the shared home), Monetary Relief, and Custody Orders for children — all obtainable through an application before the Magistrate.

Indian courts decide custody based entirely on the best interest and welfare of the child — considering age, emotional bond, financial stability, and the child’s own preference (if old enough). There is no automatic presumption in favour of either parent.

Can I file for divorce if my spouse is living abroad?
