Petition for mutual consent divorce can be filed at any of the following places:-

• Place where the wife is residing at the time of filing of the petition.
As per the Hindu Marriage Act, such petition can be moved jointly by both the parties under Section 13B of the Act on the grounds that you and your spouse:
• have been living separately for a period of one year or more,
• have not been able to live together and
• have mutually agreed that the marriage should be dissolved.
The Court shall then record the joint statement of the parties and pass a first motion order giving a time period of 6 months to the parties to resolve their dispute, but in case the parties are unable to resolve the issues within the stipulated time, the Court shall pass a decree of Divorce

At that stage, you can draw up a Settlement Deed in which you and your husband can decide how to part ways, with regard to the joint property, visitation rights, custody rights, education of the child, bank accounts, jewelry, etc. All these details will be set out in a Settlement Deed which will be signed by yourself, your husband and your Advocate and it will be binding on both of you.
