In India, mutual consent divorce is legally recognized under different marriage laws, each catering to specific communities and types of marriages. Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (Section 13B), Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains can obtain a mutual divorce after living separately for at least one year. For interfaith and civil marriages, the Special Marriage Act, 1954 (Section 28) allows couples to legally part ways through mutual consent after one year of separation. Christian couples can file for mutual divorce under Section 10A of the Indian Divorce Act, 1869, which requires a minimum separation period of two years. Each of these laws outlines specific procedures and requirements, but all emphasize the importance of mutual agreement on key issues like alimony, child custody, and property division. At BLJ Legal, Advocate Shasha Jain ensures your divorce is processed efficiently under the applicable law, with personalized legal guidance throughout.
At BLJ Legal, Advocate Shasha Jain ensures a professional, confidential, and smooth mutual divorce process, minimizing emotional stress and legal complications. Here's how we assist our clients at every step:
We begin with a private consultation (in-office or online) to understand the facts of your marriage, separation status, and willingness of both parties to divorce by mutual consent.
Assess legal eligibility under Hindu Marriage Act, Special Marriage Act, or Indian Divorce Act
Discuss terms related to child custody, alimony, maintenance, and property division
Once both spouses agree, we draft a Mutual Divorce Settlement Agreement or MoU covering:
Custody & visitation rights of children
One-time or monthly alimony/maintenance
Division of property and assets
Any other mutually agreed terms
Why it matters: This document is the foundation of a smooth mutual consent petition and is signed by both parties.
We prepare and file the First Motion Petition before the appropriate Family Court in Delhi, including:
Marriage details & separation history
Settlement terms agreed in MoU
Consent of both parties to dissolve marriage
Both parties sign the affidavit, and the court records their statements under oath.
As per law, the couple must wait for 6 months between the first and second motion. However, Advocate Shasha Jain files an application for waiver of the cooling-off period under Supreme Court guidelines when:
All matters are amicably settled
Parties have been separated for over 1 year
There’s no possibility of reconciliation
Result: Many clients at BLJ Legal get the second motion heard within 30–90 days.
Both spouses appear again for Second Motion, reaffirming consent. The judge passes the Divorce Decree, legally ending the marriage. We assist in obtaining certified copies of the decree, which are essential for:
Updating records
Remarriage
Closing joint bank accounts, etc.
For NRI clients or couples living abroad, we offer divorce representation through a registered Power of Attorney:
POA holder can appear in court on behalf of the spouse
Helps in avoiding multiple foreign visits
Drafted and notarized as per Indian legal norms
Marriage Certificate
Aadhaar / ID Proofs of both parties
Address proof (utility bill, rent agreement)
Passport-size photographs
Income proofs / ITR (for alimony consideration)
