What is Divorce Family Litigations?

Divorce family litigations are the processes of handling disputes between people going through a divorce and the issues that are generated by divorce. Divorce is the legal dissolution of the marital union between a man and a woman. According to Indian Divorce Act, the separation is granted by a court of law after receiving a petition from either wife or husband. When a couple appears to the court for their divorce then it is said to be a family litigation.

Mainly there are two types of Divorce. A couple can get a divorce with mutual consent (no-fault divorce or mutual divorce), or either spouse may file for divorce without the consent of the other (fault divorce) as per the Indian Divorce Act. Divorce without mutual consent is situational and depends upon several parameters. Let us see Mutual consent divorce…

Mutual consent divorce is the quickest form of divorce in India. When both husband and wife agree that things are not working for them. And they decide it’s time to amicably end the marital alliance. Then, both of them jointly need to present a petition before the court. If the couple has children, they need to come up with a documented mutual understanding to bring them up.

Sometimes circumstances arise when a couple decides not to put allegations against each other and go public with their family dispute, instead of moving on with mutual respect, agreement, and dignity to each other. Unfortunately as separating from each other is very essential to think about both future aspects.

How long does it take to get Mutual Consent Divorce in India?
Six months. If you have jointly presented a petition for mutual consent divorce under section 13-B, the court will give six months cooling off period after your first motion for the couple to think through and decide. After 6 months you can apply for a second motion anytime within 18 months to get your final hearing and divorce decree.Reducing the six month cooling off period is purely at the discretion of the court. Earlier it was mandatory but in 2017 the supreme court of India in Amardeep Singh vs. Harveen Kaur CA NO, 11158 OF 2017 suggested that it can be waived off based on the facts of the case and situation.The court has not mentioned any ground under which the waiver can be granted but in general, the following conditions have been considered in past-
  1. When any of the couples were settling off abroad
  2. When the wife was getting married (a woman is often considered a victim of divorce)
  3. Urgent Medical conditions
As mentioned earlier, these are not defined by any law. It depends on the judge or how strongly your lawyer presents your case and the validity of the grounds under which you are applying for a waiver. In some cases, people are able to get their divorce within 2-3 weeks.On the contrary, if you have children, then the court will take time to consider your case. Before granting any waiver the court would like to be absolutely sure about
  • Legal and Physical custody of your child,
  • Their upbringing and well being,
  • Division of your property, maintenance for the wife and children,
  • Your joint liabilities,
  • Alimony and other factors.
