Procedure for divorce by mutual consent
14-Sep-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Even for a mutual consent divorce , the court provides counselling?
In mutual divorce a joint petition is prepared stating the facts when the marriage took place and from when the husband wife are living seperately and similarly a brief reason in general that why they are not living together like differences etc--no personal facts are disclosed. On the date the first motion both husband and wife need to sign in court the joint petition and then get a six months future date and once they present and sign on second date the decree of divorce is granted. Alimony is not granted by court in mutual divorce its mutual as you and your wife decide. Minimum time is six months. The divorce decree in mutual consent is not challengeable. If the point regarding no future claims is added in the petition that will prevent any future claims by any party.
A gap of six months is given between the two motions, so as to offer the estranged couple adequate time to reconsider their decision of dissolving their marriage. On the day of the 1st motion the court may ask several questions and try to counsel you to reconcile but if you have differences which cannot be settled through intervention of the court then inevitably the court will grant a divorce in six months.
But one needs a competent lawyer to handle the entire process as there are certain legal and technical requirements , procedures and verifications. Please feel free to contact for further legal assistance.

Marriage counselling is not offered by the Court. However you can avail assistance for counselling for how to end the relationship, financial and other responsibilities. After filing of the Petition for Divorce by Mutual Consent, a court date is set. On that date, you can request the Court to refer the case to the Mediation Center. At the Mediation Center with the assistance of your Advocate and the impartial Mediator (appointed by the Mediation Center), you can seek counselling with regard to division of properties, maintenance, child custody, alimony, joint bank accounts etc.

Yes, when you file a mutual consent divorce petition, after the expiry of mandatory period of 6 months, you need to appear before the court. During that time the Judge will seek your opinion for counselling to ascertain whether you go for a divorce or wish to join.
