Overview

Family disputes carry a personal weight that ordinary litigation doesn't, and the right approach — contest, negotiate, or mutual settlement — depends heavily on the specific relationship and facts involved. Adv. Ashutosh Hans advises on this early, before deciding how to proceed.

Matters are handled under the Hindu Marriage Act, the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, and connected maintenance and guardianship provisions, with client confidentiality maintained throughout.

What this covers

  • Contested and mutual consent divorce petitions
  • Maintenance and alimony applications
  • Child custody and visitation matters
  • Domestic violence complaints and protection orders
  • Matrimonial property and streedhan disputes

  3. Filing

    Petitions, applications or replies are drafted and filed before the family/district court.

  4. Representation

    Hearings, mediation sessions and, where needed, cross-examination are handled directly.

Frequently asked

Is mutual consent divorce always faster than a contested one? +
Generally yes, but it requires agreement on key terms — custody, maintenance, and property — between both parties. Where that agreement isn't there, a contested route may be the only option.
Can maintenance be claimed even without filing for divorce? +
Yes — maintenance applications can be filed independently under various provisions, depending on your specific situation, which is assessed at consultation.
How are custody matters usually decided? +
Courts weigh the child's welfare above all — factors like age, the child's own preference (where relevant), and each parent's circumstances. This is discussed in detail based on your facts.
