Hi, Whether you have registered the marriage or not doest make difference. You can proceed for divorce on the basis of mutual consent. There will be two motions first motion could be filled after 1 year of separation and second motion to be filled after 6 months cooling off period . Thanks Ramit Sehrawat Advocate

Now a days justice system has gravitated towards virtual/online hearings. you can file your petitions by virtual mode. can file affidavits attested in your places and submit the same in court. you both can appear online and make your statements recorded in court. this would serve the purpose. Rest may be discussed on phone. Thanks
