Yes, it is mandatory to living seperately for more than one year and above for filling the petition for divorce on mutual consent. But practically , after one year from the date of marriage you can filing mutual consent petition alleging that both of you living seperately within a short period of time from the date of marriage. Once the mutual consent petition filed , the court will adjourn the case after 6 months for reporting and evidence, on that date both the parties have to be present. If both the parties informed the court that there is no possibility of reunion and stick with their stand, after examining them the divorce order will be granted on the very same day or subsequent days to the convenient of court.

You can get divorce from your husband if you separated from him for one year or more. The law required separation of couple and not possible to reunion. Living Under one roof is not eligible for divorce. However at least two different addresses required. Minimum six months required for Mutual consent divorce. As per supreme court, in some exceptional cases the trial court may consider earlier period of six months on merit. Expenditure around 15k to 20k comes according to your counsels.
