FAQs
Divorce: common questions
How long does a mutual-consent divorce take?
After the joint petition is filed, the law provides a waiting period before the second motion. Courts can reduce this period in suitable cases. The overall timeline depends on the court's schedule and on both parties completing each step.
Can I file for divorce if my spouse does not agree?
Yes. A contested divorce can be filed on grounds recognised by the law that applies to your marriage. We assess the facts and evidence first so you understand the strengths and risks before filing.
Do I have to appear in court personally?
Personal appearance is generally required at key stages, especially in mutual-consent proceedings. In certain situations courts allow appearance through video conferencing. We will tell you exactly when your presence is needed.
Will my conversation with you remain confidential?
Yes. What you share with us is treated with strict professional confidentiality. We recommend discussing sensitive details in person or on a call rather than by email.
