Need mutual divorce in minimum time
03-Dec-2024 (In Divorce Law)
Hello,
I has separated from my husband in 2010 (mutually). Since then we are living separately in different states. Now I want to remarry so need divorce documents.
The mutual divorce proceedings can be done in a fast-track manner if you file the motions within the jurisdiction of the court which works faster than the rest. There are judgements which need to be adhered to while drafting the motions or it would delay the process. An expert advocate knows how to file, where to file and how to file it effectively. Good luck in searching one.
Since you separated from your husband in 2010 but did not legally divorce, you are still considered married under the law. To remarry, you must obtain a divorce decree from the court. Here's what to do:
Check Divorce Status: If no legal proceedings were initiated earlier, you need to file for divorce now. If a case was filed, verify its status with the court.
File for Divorce:
Mutual Consent Divorce: If both parties agree, file a joint petition under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act (or relevant law). After a 6-month waiting period (which can sometimes be waived), the court will issue the divorce decree.
Contested Divorce: If your spouse does not cooperate, file a contested petition citing grounds like desertion or irretrievable breakdown of marriage. This process may take longer.
Key Steps:
Hire a lawyer to draft and file the petition.
Provide proof of separation since 2010 (e.g., documents showing different residences).
Ensure your spouse receives legal notice of the proceedings.
Once the divorce is finalized, you can remarry legally. Keep certified copies of the decree for documentation. If your spouse is untraceable, consult your lawyer for alternate legal remedies.
