For mutual divorce, first we need to file the petition with both parties signature then first motion is passed. Six month period is given to both the parties for reconciliation after if both parties still agreed to there decision of mutual divorce then second motion is passed with both the parties presence in court.

Process: Both parties jointly file a petition in the Family Court. First Motion is recorded (statements of both spouses). A cooling-off period of 6 months is generally given (can be waived by the court in some cases). Second Motion is filed after this period. Court grants divorce decree if consent continues. You must mutually decide: Child custody and visitation rights Maintenance/alimony (for wife and children) Division of assets/property
