Query regarding matrimonial issue
01-Mar-2025 (In Divorce Law)
Hi Sir,
My husband filed for divorce case in Hyderabad and I filed a transfer petition in supreme court to get that case transferred to my hometown. As a part of this, we attended mediation and the matter got settled wherein we agreed on some amount of alimony and signed the agreement. Now after this, what process is followed by a lawyer for divorce through supreme court o that all cases pending before district courts should be quashed and divirce happens in SC. My lawyer is charging hefty fees
you should go for divorce by mutual consent in the district court where you are located and in complaint case you can simply withdraw then by giving undertaking before the court and in FIR case you must move quashing petition in the high court . supreme court does not have jurisdiction here
Since the case is already listed in Supreme Court all relevant process therein would be through the order of the Hon' SC. You can ask your advocate to file IAs for the same. In case you are not satisfied with the ongoing advocate you can hire a new advocate within your budget. Make sure that the case in SC is well used for getting all issues resolved.
A divorce petition is filed before a district family court, SC do not have jurisdiction in your case.
If, as u mentioned, you have reached to an amicable solution in mediation then you may directly apply for the divorce as per mutual consent. It is a simple & time saving process. you shall not face any hardship in getting a divorce decree. Rest depends upon the t&c's of the settlement/ MOU. I may answer you & guide better after seeing your MOU/ settlement.
