Reply to legal notice for divorce
01-Jul-2025 (In Divorce Law)
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have received a legal notice from wife stating all false allegations and finally calling for mutual consent for divorce. In this case, should i reply to the legal notice or just give mutual consent through an advocate or can i contact the advocate who sent me the legal notice?
What will be the procedure for mutual consent and fees structure for advocate?
hi, I can well understand your concern from the query raised, you can send a reply notice, and furnish your side of the matter, then proceed with either a mutual consent or contested divorce, depending on the scenario, thank you

Yes, you should reply to the legal notice through your own advocate to record your version and deny false allegations.
Do not directly contact her advocate.
Mutual Consent Divorce Procedure:
1. Both parties file a joint petition stating terms of separation.
2. First motion: Filed in family court.
3. Cooling-off period: 6 months (can be waived in some cases).
4. Second motion: Final hearing & divorce decree.
Advocate Fees:
₹10,000 to ₹50,000 depending on city, complexity, and lawyer experience.
Some may charge per motion, others as lump sum.

You should consult an advocate to draft a reply to the notice, denying the false claims and seeking evidence. Avoid direct contact with the opposing advocate; let your lawyer handle communication to maintain professionalism.

It is always advisable to offer a reply to the legal notice so that you can fix your intention before anything changes on the other side. Divorce by mutual consent will be possible only when both parties sail together until the decision of the court. It is better to have an advocate from your side. Or you can also go with the advocate engaged by your wife.
