Family Matters &
Matrimonial Law.

Mutual Consent Divorce

Under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, a mutual consent divorce provides a structured, dignified mechanism to dissolve a marriage when both parties agree. This approach significantly reduces courtroom exposure and financial strain.

Procedural Scope:

• Drafting the joint petition establishing separation of one year or more.
• Filing the First Motion before the competent Family Court in Ahmedabad.
• Managing the statutory six-month interregnum (or filing waiver applications where applicable per Supreme Court directives).
• Filing the Second Motion leading to the final decree.

Contested Divorce

When amicable resolution is not viable, contested petitions are filed under specific statutory grounds such as cruelty, desertion, or adultery. These matters demand rigorous evidentiary preparation and adherence to the Indian Evidence Act.

Our firm provides resolute representation through the drafting of the petition, cross-examination, and final arguments, ensuring your legal rights are robustly defended before the court.

Child Custody & Visitation

The Family Court evaluates custody matters strictly based on the "paramount welfare of the child." Custody is not automatically granted to either the mother or the father; rather, the court assesses financial stability, educational capacity, and emotional environment.

We assist in negotiating terms for joint custody, primary physical custody, and structuring clear, enforceable visitation rights to prevent future conflict.

Restitution of Conjugal Rights

If a spouse has withdrawn from the society of the other without a reasonable excuse, Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act allows the aggrieved party to file for restitution. We handle both the filing of restitution petitions and the legal defence against them, often beginning with professional marriage counselling where appropriate.
