A: Divorce in India involves several steps, which can be complex but manageable with proper guidance. Here’s a comprehensive guide:
1. Mutual Consent or Contested Divorce:
- Mutual Consent Divorce: Both parties agree to the divorce and its terms. This is usually quicker and less contentious.
- Contested Divorce: One party does not agree to the divorce or its terms. This process can be longer and more complicated.
2. Consult a Divorce Lawyer:
- It's crucial to consult with an experienced divorce lawyer who can guide you through the legal process and represent you in court. KyraLegal LLP has experienced advocates who can assist you in every step.
3. Filing the Petition:
- Prepare and file a divorce petition in the family court. The petition should include details of the marriage, grounds for divorce, and any other relevant information.
4. Serving the Petition:
- The court will serve a copy of the petition to your spouse, who must respond within a specified time.
5. Court Proceedings:
- Attend court hearings where both parties will present their cases. The court may also try mediation to resolve disputes amicably.
6. Settlement and Decree:
- If both parties reach a settlement, the court will grant a divorce decree. In contested cases, the court will decide based on the evidence and arguments presented.
