Greetings,
For obtaining divorce you need to stay separate for atleast 1 year. Mutual Divorce Petition is required to be filed and other documents such as invitation card, wedding photograph, marriage certificate. In Petition you are required to mention the reason for mutual divorce and be specific while filing consent term. It requires 6 to 7 months time to get the decree.

First of all you may issue a legal notice against the concerned party. Thereafter you may file divorce petition under the relevant provisions as per your facts and story. Court will issue notice to the other side. On appearance otherside will file their written say. Then court will frame the issues. Matter will be shifted to hearing board. Wherein you will be allowed to give ur evidence and otherside will cross examine you. On completion of ir evidence otherside may give hos or her evidence.upon closing of evidence both sides will argue their case and court will pass it's final judgment. Entire process may take minimum six months to one year for conclusion.so far as charges are concerned it may vary from lawyer to lawyer.

After the expiry of one year they can file a petition for mutual divorce before the jurisdictional family court. But they need to mention in the petition that they were separated each other 1 year prior or otherwise it will be difficult to obtain the decree.
