Mutual Consent Divorce in Chennai — handled end to end for ₹15,000 flat
If you and your spouse have agreed to separate and want a mutual consent divorce in Chennai, Adv. Bhawna Yadav and her team handle the entire matter — drafting, filing, both motions, and representation before the Family Court — for a single flat fee of ₹15,000. No hidden add-ons, no surprise charges as the case moves along; we quote one number at the start and that is what you pay for the legal work.
Where the case is actually heard
Mutual consent divorce petitions from Chennai are filed and heard at the Family Court, Chennai, the designated forum for matrimonial matters under the Family Courts Act — not the City Civil Court, which handles other civil disputes. Chennai's Family Court sits in multiple divisions handling matrimonial, maintenance, and custody matters, and any appeal from its orders lies to the Madras High Court.
Jurisdiction for filing generally follows one of these: the place where the marriage was solemnised, the place the couple last resided together, or the place where the wife currently resides — all valid options for a Chennai filing if any of these connect to the city. We review your specific facts and pick the option that gives the cleanest, fastest path through the Family Court's listing process, so the petition isn't returned on a technical jurisdiction objection.
How we work with you, wherever you are
Most of our Chennai clients never need to visit our chamber in person before the final hearing:
- Documents move digitally — marriage certificate, ID proof, address proof, income details, and the settlement terms (on maintenance, custody if applicable, and asset division) are collected over WhatsApp and email.
- We draft and file the joint petition at the Family Court, Chennai, and appear on your behalf for the first motion.
- The mandatory cooling-off period between the first and second motion (which the Family Court can waive in genuine cases) is something we track and manage proactively, keeping you updated rather than leaving you to follow up.
- For the second motion, we prepare you for what to expect and coordinate the appearance so it is as brief and painless as possible.
For Chennai residents now living abroad — Singapore, the Gulf, the US, UK, or elsewhere — we regularly structure these matters around a client's travel schedule or use permissible remote arrangements where the Family Court's practice allows, so an NRI spouse isn't forced into an expensive, disruptive trip that achieves nothing extra. We'll tell you plainly if your physical presence is genuinely required for a hearing, and when it isn't.
Why families in Chennai choose us
You deal directly with Adv. Bhawna Yadav, not a rotating desk of juniors — she and her team run your file from the first WhatsApp message to the final decree. We communicate in English or Hindi, whichever you're comfortable with, and we say upfront exactly what your matter needs: if your case is straightforward, we tell you so; if there are complications around maintenance or custody that need more work, we say that too before any commitment is made — never a low quote followed by additions later.
If you're ready to start, message us on WhatsApp with a short summary of your situation, and we'll walk you through the Chennai Family Court process from there.

Frequently asked questions
Do both of us need to take part?
Yes. A mutual consent divorce requires both spouses to agree, and the law requires both to consent at the relevant stages. We hold the consultation with both of you together — over a video call if you are in different cities — and capture the agreed terms accurately.
How long does a mutual consent divorce take?
Mutual consent divorces involve two motions, with a cooling-off period between them that is typically six months but can be waived by the court in appropriate cases (following the Supreme Court's decision in Amardeep Singh v. Harveen Kaur). We prepare both motions in advance so there is no delay on your side, and we give you an honest, realistic timeline for your situation.
What is the settlement deed, and why does it matter?
It is the document that records what you have agreed on alimony, child custody and the division of property. It is the heart of a mutual divorce — a clear, fair settlement is what keeps the divorce amicable and prevents it from unravelling later. We draft it carefully so it holds.
Can you handle this confidentially, and from another state?
Yes. Everything is covered by advocate–client confidentiality from the first conversation, and we act for couples in every Indian state, in English or Hindi, at the same flat ₹15,000.
