Frequently Asked Questions
On what legal basis can divorce be granted in India?
The reason or cause for divorce differs with personal laws, but some common grounds are adultery, cruelty, desertion, and reasonable discontent.
How many months does it generally take to get a divorce in India?
The time it takes for a divorce can depend on matters like the agreement to divorce, problematic areas that may be disputed, and the kind of backing situations with the courts.
Do I have to go to court to get a divorce?
Yes, you will have to go to court to file the divorce petition with the help of your lawyer. In India divorce is granted by court and no other authorities except for communities with their own personal law.
What determines who gets custody of the children during a divorce?
The child’s best interest is always the consideration. Some of the factors include age, the child’s relationship with the parents, ability to pay for their needs and if the child is of enough age to express a preference, their opinion is also considered.
How does property gets divided between the couple during a divorce in India?
Properties get divided on the basis of ownership. For properties with joint ownership the division remains the way it was during getting the property. Wherever there is mutual settlement then properties get divided as per mutual understanding and agreement.
How much alimony or maintenance can be allowed?
The amount depends on such parameters as income, quality of living, and the period of marriage.
