Need lawyer and price for mutual divorce and withdrawal of 498A case
26-Mar-2026 (In Divorce Law)
Hello,
My wife has filed a 498a case on me. Both the parties now agree for a mutual settlement where mutual divorce would be there and the 498a case would be withdrawn. I need the complete package fees for both the action items to be executed.
Hi
If both parties have mutually agreed to settle the matter and are willing to proceed further in a cooperative manner, the process can be handled more smoothly and efficiently. A mutual settlement helps in reducing unnecessary delays, legal complications, and emotional stress for both sides. Once the intent to proceed jointly is confirmed, the next steps will involve preparing the required documentation, outlining the agreed terms and conditions, and initiating the appropriate legal proceedings as per applicable law.
In such cases, professional fees and any associated costs will be determined based on the scope of work involved, including drafting, filing, appearances, and any additional legal support required during the process. A detailed fee structure, along with a clear breakdown of services, will be shared transparently to avoid any confusion at a later stage.
All communication regarding fees, documentation requirements, timelines, and procedural aspects will be sent to your registered email address for your convenience and record. This ensures clarity, proper documentation, and ease of reference throughout the process. Once you review and confirm the same, we can proceed promptly with the next steps to formalize and complete the settlement.
Thanks

The fee structure depends on which court / jurisdiction you are referring to.
There would be a settlement deed required to be filed alongwith the mutual petition on all terms duly recorded in the same.
Mutual usually runs in two motions, first motion is filed and mediation is done, post 6months second motion is filed post cooling off period.
Also, an attempt to reduce the cooling off period may be made, which is solely the discretion of the judge keeping in mind the circumstances of the mutual divorce, seperation period.

You should proceed by first executing a proper mutual settlement deed covering all terms, then file a mutual consent divorce petition, and thereafter take steps to get the 498A FIR quashed before the Hon’ble High Court in terms of the settlement.

In a case under Section 498A IPC, the matter cannot be directly withdrawn, but it can be quashed by the High Court after a mutual settlement. You and your wife should first execute a proper settlement agreement covering divorce, alimony, and other terms, then file a mutual divorce under Section 13B Hindu Marriage Act, and simultaneously or thereafter move the High Court under Section 482 CrPC for quashing of the FIR. Ensure that the settlement amount, if any, is paid in stages and not fully upfront until the case is quashed and divorce is finalised to safeguard your interests.
