Yes, we assist with drafting the petition and guide you on all required documents, such as the marriage certificate, child's birth certificate, income proof (if relevant), and other supporting records. Your information remains strictly confidential, and depending on the case, the process may be completed with minimal court appearances.

You will have to share all available marriage and other necessary documents like income proofs, and any child-related papers, expenses if relevant, and I can draft the petition based on those details. And Yes, the process is generally kept confidential, and depending on whether it is contested or mutual consent, it may be possible to reduce court appearances and complete it in a shorter time.

The required documents depend on the type of divorce petition (mutual consent or contested) and the applicable personal law. Generally, marriage proof, identity/address proof, photographs, and details of children are required; income documents may be needed for maintenance or financial claims. A lawyer can draft the petition based on the facts. Court proceedings are generally confidential, but the exact process and timeline vary. Multiple court appearances may be required, although mutual-consent divorce is usually simpler and may involve fewer hearings, subject to the court’s procedure.
