FAQs

• How long does a divorce case take in Delhi?
  Timelines vary based on whether the matter is contested or mutual. Mutual consent divorces may conclude in about 6–12 months, while contested cases can take longer depending on evidence and court proceedings.
• Can maintenance be claimed during divorce proceedings?
  Yes. Interim and permanent maintenance can be sought under laws like Section 125 CrPC and the Hindu Marriage Act, depending on financial dependency and circumstances.
• Which court handles family law cases in Delhi?
  Family Courts in Delhi deal with divorce, custody, maintenance, and matrimonial disputes. Appeals may be filed before the Delhi High Court when required.
• Is mediation required before filing a family case?
  Courts often encourage mediation and settlement, especially in matrimonial disputes, to resolve issues without prolonged litigation.
• What documents are required to file a divorce case?
  Marriage proof, identity documents, address proof, financial records, and any relevant evidence such as communication or prior complaints are commonly required.
• Are child custody decisions always given to the mother?
  No. Courts decide custody based on the child’s welfare. This principle has been emphasized in cases like Gaurav Nagpal v. Sumedha Nagpal (Supreme Court), where the best interest of the child was treated as the primary factor.
• Can domestic violence complaints be filed along with divorce?
  Yes. Relief under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act can be sought alongside matrimonial proceedings for protection, residence, or financial support.
