Mutual Consent Divorce Petition

A clean, dignified end — handled with care

When a marriage ends by agreement, the law offers a path that is faster, cheaper and far less painful than fighting it out: mutual consent divorce. It avoids litigating fault, lets both people move on with dignity, and turns on one thing — a clear, fair settlement that both spouses accept. Adv. Bhawna Yadav and her team prepare the entire filing at a flat ₹6,999, handled with confidentiality and an honest view of the timeline, ready within seven days.

The fee is fixed and agreed in writing. There is no hourly billing, nothing added later, and no upselling.

What mutual consent divorce involves

A mutual consent divorce is not about proving anyone did anything wrong. It is about two people agreeing that the marriage is over and agreeing on the terms of parting. The process has a recognised structure, and understanding it removes much of the anxiety.

The joint petition

Both spouses file a joint petition stating that they have been living separately, that the marriage has broken down, and that they have mutually agreed to divorce. We draft this under the law that applies to you — whether the Hindu Marriage Act, the Special Marriage Act, or another personal law — so it is correct from the outset.

The settlement

Alongside the petition sits the agreement that matters most: how alimony or maintenance is dealt with, who has custody of any children and on what visitation terms, and how property and finances are divided. This settlement is the foundation of an amicable divorce, and a vague or unfair one is what causes a mutual divorce to collapse into a contested one.

The two motions

A mutual consent divorce proceeds in two stages — a first motion and, after a cooling-off period, a second motion at which the decree is granted. The cooling-off period is typically six months, but courts can and do waive it in appropriate cases where the matter is genuinely settled. We prepare the paperwork for both motions in advance, so nothing on your side delays the decree.

Why the settlement deserves real care

The single most common reason a "simple" mutual divorce turns difficult is a settlement that was rushed. When alimony is left vague, custody and visitation are not properly thought through, or the division of property is ambiguous, one spouse later feels short-changed and the agreement frays — sometimes before the second motion, sometimes after. We take the time to draft a settlement that is genuinely fair and genuinely clear, covering the points that matter to your family, so the agreement you make at the start is the one that holds at the end.

Handled with confidentiality and care

A divorce is among the most personal matters anyone goes through. Everything you share is covered by advocate–client confidentiality from the very first conversation, and the process is handled with the discretion and calm it deserves. The aim throughout is to keep the divorce mutual — to draft and advise in a way that helps both people part cleanly, rather than escalating a settled matter into a fight.

Custody and children

Where children are involved, their welfare is the law's first concern and ours. We help you structure custody and a visitation schedule that works for the child and that both parents can live with, and we record it clearly in the settlement so there is no ambiguity later. Getting this right at the divorce stage prevents the most painful disputes from resurfacing afterwards.

What you get

• A joint consultation with both spouses, in confidence.
• The joint petition drafted under the law that applies to you.
• A carefully drafted settlement covering alimony, custody and property.
• A custody and visitation schedule, where children are involved.
• Both-motion paperwork, prepared in advance and court-ready.

All at a flat ₹6,999, within seven days, in English or Hindi.

If your situation isn't fully mutual yet

Sometimes a couple is close to agreement but not quite there — on alimony, or on custody. A consultation can help bridge that gap and turn a near-agreement into a clean mutual filing. And if the marriage cannot be ended by consent, we will tell you honestly and explain how a contested divorce differs, rather than forcing a mutual filing that will not hold.

Available across India, confidentially

We act for couples in every Indian state, in English or Hindi, with the consultation held over a video call where the spouses are in different cities. Wherever you are, the matter is handled with the same confidentiality and care.

The legal basis

Mutual consent divorce is provided for under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, Section 28 of the Special Marriage Act, 1954, and the corresponding provisions of other personal laws. The court's power to waive the cooling-off period was confirmed by the Supreme Court in Amardeep Singh v. Harveen Kaur (2017).
