Mutual divorce process initiation
20-Feb-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I have a question regarding mutual consent divorce. My husband and i have decided to part our way.
Do we have to live separately for 1 year first and then file for mutual divorce? Or is there some process/filing that we should do before starting to live separately for one year?
hi sir/madam,
you can file for divorce even if you are not separated for 1 year. but the the petition should be filed after 1 year from the date of marriage, for filing the case and also for any legal assistance kindly contact me. thanks

Dear Madam
You are under wrong notion. If you have completed one year of married life then you can file mutual divorce petition.
Cooling period is 6 months.
This oeriod may be waived of if proper reasons are given.
