Q: Can a mutual divorce be filed in two different family court

We are having divorce by mutual consent. My husband is filing divorce. He is filing divorce in one of the family court and i want it to be filed in another family court. Please let me know what is the procedure. (Hindu law)

Advocate Kabir Khan answered
You have to file it in the same court and be heard before one judge. I strongly suggest to pick one court and file the petition for mutual consent divorce under section 13-B of Hindu Marriage Act. The decree will be passed 6 months from the date of filing.

Advocate Kabir Khan answered
Few factors are taken in to consideration before filing a divorce petition. Firstly, the marriage registration under Hindu or Christian or Muslim or special marriage act. Secondly, as there are different reliefs in divorce, if it is mutual consent divorce under Hindu marriage act then as per section 13-b of Hindu marriage act the petition will be listed and filed accordingly. Thirdly, the documents required for proof or wedding are essential viz. marriage certificate, wedding photographs and wedding card, in case of no marriage certificate to be produced then wedding photographs and card is needed.Lastly, during the filing procedure along with the petition the verification, affidavit and vakalatnama with the signatures of the parties along with photo identity and address proof is required. Once filed, the court provides you with a lodging number and next hearing date.
