Divorce and Mutual Consent
Where spouses seek divorce by mutual consent, the applicable law sets out specific requirements and court procedure. Under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, mutual consent divorce is governed by statutory requirements; the exact process and applicability depend on the parties and governing law.
A mutual-consent proceeding should not be presented as a guaranteed or fixed-time outcome. The applicable requirements, court process and circumstances of the parties determine how a matter proceeds.
Maintenance and Financial Considerations
Maintenance can arise in family-law proceedings and may be governed by different statutory provisions depending on the parties and nature of the proceeding. Under the Hindu Marriage Act, Section 24 addresses maintenance pendente lite and expenses of proceedings, while Section 25 concerns permanent alimony and maintenance.
The availability, amount and procedure for maintenance depend on the applicable law and facts, including relevant financial circumstances. Legal advice should therefore be based on the specific matter rather than a general assumption.
Child Custody and Family-Court Matters
Child custody proceedings require consideration of the applicable legal framework and the circumstances of the child and family. The Hindu Marriage Act contains a provision concerning custody of children, while the Delhi High Court separately identifies child-custody matters among family-law matters handled by the court.
The appropriate legal approach depends on the facts of the family situation, the child’s circumstances, the applicable law and the court or forum involved.
