How Mutual Consent Divorce works
Mutual Consent Divorce is a legal process in which both husband and wife jointly decide to end their marriage with mutual agreement and without contested litigation. The process is generally carried out under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 and other applicable matrimonial laws depending on the religion and personal law of the parties. In this process, both spouses mutually agree on important matters such as alimony, maintenance, child custody, visitation rights, property settlement, and other related issues before filing the case before the Family Court.
A joint divorce petition is prepared and filed before the appropriate court along with the required documents and settlement terms agreed upon by both parties. The Court records the statements of both spouses and examines whether the consent has been given freely and voluntarily. After completion of the statutory procedures and required waiting period, the parties are generally required to appear before the Court again for the second motion. If the Court is satisfied that both parties continue to consent to the divorce and all legal requirements have been fulfilled, a decree of divorce may be granted legally dissolving the marriage.
At Bar Bench House, we provide professional legal assistance for mutual consent divorce matters, including legal drafting, preparation of settlement terms, court filings, documentation, and representation during proceedings while ensuring a smooth, confidential, and legally compliant process for both parties.
