Divorce Litigation

Divorce litigation in India involves a contested process where either spouse files a petition in the family court, outlining grounds for divorce and seeking relief. The other party must respond, potentially with a counter-petition, and both sides present evidence and arguments in court hearings. The court ultimately decides based on the evidence and issues a decree dissolving the marriage, which may also include orders on maintenance, custody, and property division. 

Contested Divorce Process:

Filing the Petition: One spouse files a divorce petition in the family court, detailing grounds for divorce and supporting evidence.

Notice and Response: The other spouse receives a notice and must respond, potentially with a counter-petition.

Court Proceedings: Both parties present evidence, witness testimonies, and arguments.

Final Hearing: The court assesses the validity of the grounds and issues a decree. 

Contested Divorce Grounds:

Adultery:

One spouse has a sexual relationship with someone other than their partner. 

Cruelty:

One spouse causes physical or mental cruelty to the other. 

Desertion:

One spouse abandons the other without legitimate reason for at least two years. 

Other Grounds:

Religious conversion, leprosy, communicable diseases, renunciation, mental instability, or presumption of death can also be grounds. 

Mutual Consent Divorce:

Procedure: Both spouses file a joint petition stating mutual consent and reasons for separation. 

Cooling-Off Period: A six-month cooling-off period may be required to attempt reconciliation. 

Final Hearing: If reconciliation is not achieved, the court issues a decree dissolving the marriage. 

Timeline:

Contested divorces can take 2-5 years to resolve, but can take longer depending on the complexity of the case.
