Direct Answer: Mutual consent divorce in Delhi under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act requires both spouses to agree on all terms — maintenance, custody, and property — and file a joint petition. The process takes 6 to 18 months, with the option to waive the 6-month cooling-off period if the marriage has irretrievably broken down. Our mutual consent divorce lawyers in Delhi complete the process as efficiently as possible.
Our mutual consent divorce service covers:
Timeline: 3–6 months (with waiver) | 6–18 months (standard) Fee range: ₹15,000 – ₹75,000
Direct Answer: Contested divorce in Delhi is filed by one spouse on specific legal grounds under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 — most commonly cruelty (physical or mental), desertion for 2+ years, or adultery. Our contested divorce lawyers in Delhi build your case from the evidence stage through cross-examination to final arguments — protecting your rights throughout proceedings that can take 2 to 5 years.
Legal grounds we handle:
Timeline: 2–5 years Fee range: ₹50,000 – ₹3,00,000+
Direct Answer: Child custody in Delhi is decided by family courts based on the "best interests of the child" standard — considering the child's age, emotional bond with each parent, education, and overall welfare. Our child custody lawyers in Delhi secure interim custody orders, negotiate enforceable visitation schedules, and represent parents at all stages of custody proceedings — including cases involving NRI parents and relocation disputes.
We handle:
Fee range:
₹25,000 – ₹1,00,000+
Direct Answer: Maintenance in Delhi is claimed under Section 125 CrPC (criminal courts, applicable to all religions) or Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act (family courts, during divorce proceedings). Courts consider the husband's income, wife's income and earning capacity, standard of living during marriage, and the needs of the children. Our maintenance lawyers in Delhi file applications early, present comprehensive financial evidence, and secure maximum possible awards.
| Husband's Monthly Income | Typical Spousal Maintenance |
|---|---|
| ₹30,000 – ₹60,000 | ₹8,000 – ₹20,000/month |
| ₹60,000 – ₹1,50,000 | ₹20,000 – ₹50,000/month |
| ₹1,50,000+ | ₹50,000 – ₹1,50,000+/month |
Direct Answer: Under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 (PWDVA), any woman who has experienced physical, emotional, economic, or sexual abuse by a partner or family member can apply for a protection order, residence order, and monetary relief. Our domestic violence lawyers in Delhi file applications urgently — protection orders can be obtained within 24 to 72 hours of filing in emergency situations.
We provide:
Direct Answer: Section 498A of the IPC (now Section 85 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023) deals with cruelty by a husband or his family towards a wife. If you have been falsely accused under 498A, our advocates immediately apply for anticipatory bail and file for quashing of the FIR before the Delhi High Court. If you are a wife who has genuinely suffered cruelty, we build the strongest possible case to ensure accountability.

Mutual consent divorce in Delhi takes 3 to 18 months depending on whether the cooling-off period is waived. Contested divorce takes 2 to 5 years. Mediation-assisted settlement typically takes 8 to 18 months. The fastest route is mutual consent divorce with a cooling-off waiver — possible when the marriage has irretrievably broken down and all terms are agreed. Delhi Legal Expert files waiver applications at the first motion hearing in all eligible cases.
Yes. Under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, you can apply for interim maintenance from the very first day of filing the divorce petition. Courts in Delhi regularly grant interim maintenance — providing financial support throughout the proceedings without waiting for the final decree. Delhi Legal Expert files Section 24 applications at the earliest possible stage to ensure you are financially supported during the case.
The terms are used interchangeably in India. A matrimonial lawyer handles all family law matters — divorce, child custody, maintenance, domestic violence, 498A, restitution of conjugal rights, and annulment. A divorce lawyer specifically handles the dissolution of marriage proceedings. Delhi Legal Expert's matrimonial advocates handle all these matters — giving you a single point of contact for every aspect of your family law case.
Under current Indian matrimonial law, there is no automatic right to share the husband's self-acquired property for a wife in a divorce. However, the wife can claim: streedhan (her own jewellery and gifts), maintenance and alimony, a share in jointly acquired property, and her share in any joint investment. Courts have increasingly recognised the wife's contribution to the household in maintenance calculations. Consult a matrimonial lawyer for advice specific to your property situation.
If your husband files a divorce petition first, you have the right to file a written statement contesting the grounds, claim maintenance under Section 24 HMA immediately, apply for child custody simultaneously, and file a counter-petition if you have your own grounds. Filing first gives no strategic advantage in Indian family courts — the merits of both parties' cases are considered equally. Contact Delhi Legal Expert immediately after receiving summons from a family court.
