In mutual divorce a joint petition is prepared stating the facts when the marriage took place and from when the husband wife are living separately and similarly a brief reason in general that why they are not living together like differences etc--no personal facts are disclosed.
on the date the first motion both husband and wife need to sign in court the joint petition and then get a six months future date and once they present and sign on second date the decree of divorce is granted.

Alimony is not granted by court in mutual divorce its mutual as you and your wife decide.

Minimum time is six months
The divorce decree in mutual consent is not be challenged.
if the point regarding no future claims is added in the petition that will prevent any future claims by any party.

irretrievable breakdown of marriage is by itself no ground for filing of divorce under Hindu marriage act though in evidence it may be relevant to show that there is nothing left. You may file the divorce under any of the relevant grounds as mentioned under section 13 of the hindu marriage act, 1955 as they are applicable in your case.

Hi, it can be done by that some other things may be added. But, from your query it is not possible to know the complete facts of the case and in this situation it is difficult to clarify and advise you correctly. You are suggested to provide the complete facts.
Thanks and regards
