Mutual consent and contested divorce
The practice deals with mutual consent divorce where parties have agreed to dissolve the marriage, and contested divorce where allegations, maintenance, custody or property disputes are unresolved. The legal route depends on the personal law applicable to the marriage and the facts of separation.
Proceedings while living abroad
An NRI spouse may need representation in India while living in the UAE, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Singapore or elsewhere. Remote coordination is possible for case discussion, document preparation and instructions, though court-specific requirements must be assessed.
Strategic issues in NRI divorce
Important issues include valid service abroad, proper pleadings, collection of foreign records, income proof, child-related reliefs, settlement recording and whether any foreign proceedings affect the Indian case.
