Legal Services in Divorce and Family Law

From amicable mutual consent divorces to contested proceedings and child custody disputes, our team delivers strategic, compassionate legal support every step of the way.

Mutual Consent Divorce

When both spouses agree to dissolve their marriage, the process is quicker and more streamlined legally. Legal representation includes:

  • Drafting and filing the divorce petition
  • Representing clients during court hearings.
  • Ensuring compliance with statutory requirements.

A mutual divorce typically takes six months to one year, subject to court schedules.

Contested Divorce

When one spouse does not agree to the divorce, legal intervention is required. Grounds for contested divorce include:

  • Cruelty: Mental or physical abuse.
  • Adultery – Proof of infidelity.
  • Desertion – Abandonment for two or more years.
  • Mental Disorder – Severe psychological conditions affecting the marriage.
  • Irretrievable Breakdown of Marriage – Recognised by courts in exceptional cases.

Legal proceedings in contested divorce cases involve submissions of evidence, witness examinations, and court hearings.

Child Custody & Visitation Rights

In custody disputes, courts consider the best interests of the child while determining:

  • Sole Custody – One parent is granted full custody.
  • Joint Custody – Shared parental rights and responsibilities.
  • Visitation Rights – Access for the non-custodial parent.

Legal representation ensures that parental rights and child welfare are addressed within the framework of applicable laws.

Maintenance & Alimony

Courts assess financial support based on:

  • Income and earning capacity of both parties.
  • Standard of living is maintained during the marriage.
  • Financial and non-financial contributions made by each spouse.
  • Responsibilities for child care.

Legal assistance ensures that maintenance claims are fairly assessed and in accordance with judicial precedents.

Domestic Violence & Dowry Harassment Cases

Legal remedies under:

  • The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 – Civil relief and protection orders.
  • Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code Criminal proceedings in cases of cruelty.
  • Restraining Orders – Court orders to prevent harassment or harm.

Legal recourse is available for individuals seeking protection, financial relief, and legal redress in cases of domestic violence and dowry-related offenses.

Division of Property & Assets

Legal assistance includes:

  • Settlement of marital assets – Distribution based on ownership and contributions.
  • Disputes related to jointly owned property.

Legal representation ensures that financial and property matters are handled in compliance with relevant laws.

Mediation & Alternative Dispute Resolution

Courts encourage out-of-court settlements to:

  • Minimize litigation costs and emotional distress.
  • Facilitate negotiated settlements between parties.

Legal mediation helps in reaching amicable settlements where possible.

High Court & Supreme Court Representation

Legal services include:

  • Family law appeals before the Karnataka High Court.
  • Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) before the Supreme Court of India.
