Procedure to file application for Mutual Consent Seperation in Bandra


04-Aug-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hello I would like to know the procedure currently to file an application for Mutual Consent Separation in Mumbai - Bandra Family Court. I am of Hindu religion and me & the ex have already agreed on the consent terms. I am currently facing difficulty getting an in person appointment for filing because of the new token system application procedure in place at the Mumbai family court. I have seen a circular on Mumbai family court website which says application can be filed online using the following link https://filing.ecourts.gov.in/ . Is this online filing procedure valid for Mutual Consent Separation filing at the Bandra Family Court? Also is there a procedure to fast track the application since the consent terms are already agreed by both parties and I want to avoid prolonging the agony any further? As it is, it has taken a lot of time to agree on the consent terms and now the procedural delays are further lengthening the process.

no there is no online filing but the token system shall do quickly if it is a mutual consent divorce and also even if it agreed by both the parties abt the consent terms then you can file waiver application to waive off the cooling period of six months but mostly it doesnt gets allowed

Hello Advocate Minakshi Ovhal here due to corona pandemic court procedure is on online. it's valid filing through online. as per Hindu marriage act you have to wait 6 months for divorce decree. but you can file an application for 6 months period wave. if court allow this application then you need not to wait for 6 months. thank you
