How the process works
Spouses can apply together when they have lived separately for a year or more and both agree that the marriage cannot continue. The process usually runs in four stages:
Preparation
We collect your documents and put your agreed terms in writing.
First motion
You both sign a joint petition, which we file in the Family Court.
Waiting period
The law generally allows a cooling-off period of six months, which the court may shorten in suitable cases.
Second motion and decree
You both appear again, and the court passes the decree of divorce.
Timelines depend on the court and on the law that governs your marriage (for example, the Hindu Marriage Act or the Special Marriage Act). We will explain exactly what applies to you.
