Procedure for ex party divorce if husband is not willing to come
30-Oct-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Is it possible to get an X party divorce if my husband is just not ready to come down to India at any cost? He's a Belgian citizen and I'm an Indian. For a mutual consent I believe both the parties should be present in the court but feed not ready to come down. So only choice is X party. How long would it take? Any other way i can get a divorce?
Madam,
It is possible only in a contested divorce proceedings to obtain an ex parte divorce decree if your husband is not ready to come down to India and participate in the divorce proceedings. But in order to get an ex parte divorce decree in a contested divorce, the notice of the family court has to be served on your husband. Only if your husband receives or refuses to receive the notice of the court and upon bringing this very matter to the court, the court shall set him ex parte and grant you the divorce decree. Coming to mutual consent divorce proceedings, there is no term as ex parte as both the wife and husband should be present on the day of the second motion. However, you can request the court to record your husband's evidence/statements through video conferencing on the day of the second motion if your husband is cooperating but ultimately, its the court's discretion to allow or reject your request for such recording. Rest you can contact a local family court lawyer and seek his/her advice and proceed accordingly.
