Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long does a divorce take in Delhi?

The timeline depends on the nature of the case. Mutual consent divorces are generally resolved faster than contested divorces, but the actual duration varies based on the facts, applicable law, and court proceedings.

What is the difference between mutual and contested divorce?

In a mutual consent divorce, both spouses agree to dissolve the marriage and settle related issues. In a contested divorce, one spouse disputes the divorce or disagrees on issues such as custody, maintenance, or property.

Can I file for divorce without my spouse’s consent?

Yes. A contested divorce may be filed on legally recognized grounds under the applicable personal law, subject to the facts of the case.

Is court appearance mandatory?

Court appearances depend on the stage of the proceedings and the directions of the court. Your lawyer will advise you regarding attendance requirements.

Can maintenance be claimed during divorce proceedings?

Yes. Depending on the applicable law and circumstances, a spouse or child may be entitled to seek interim or permanent maintenance.

Who gets child custody after divorce?

The court decides custody based on the welfare and best interests of the child after considering all relevant circumstances.

Can divorce proceedings be settled outside court?

Yes. Many matrimonial disputes are resolved through mediation or negotiated settlements, subject to the agreement of both parties.

Are divorce proceedings confidential?

Family court proceedings generally provide greater privacy than ordinary civil litigation, though confidentiality is subject to applicable law and court procedures.
