Family Law

Sensitive matters handled with
legal precision and personal care.
Confidential. Compassionate. Decisive.

Family law disputes have personal stakes that demand both legal expertise and human understanding.

SIRI Law LLP's family law practice provides specialist legal representation in matrimonial proceedings, child custody, succession planning, and domestic matters — with the sensitivity these situations require and the legal authority they demand.

Overview

Legal Clarity When Families Face Difficult Decisions

Family law in India spans multiple personal law systems — Hindu law, Muslim law, and the Special Marriage Act — alongside court-specific procedures in family courts, high courts, and guardianship courts.

SIRI Law LLP’s family law practice handles matters from uncontested divorces to complex contested proceedings involving high-value asset division, international child custody, and inheritance disputes. All family matters are handled with absolute confidentiality.

Digital Asset Division in Family Disputes

Cryptocurrency, NFTs & AI Assets in Divorce

Digital assets — cryptocurrency holdings, NFTs, AI-generated intellectual property, and equity in digital businesses — are appearing with increasing frequency in high-value family disputes.

We advise on forensic tracing of digital assets, valuation methodologies, and legal frameworks for division in matrimonial proceedings.

7–10 years

average duration of a contested family law proceeding in Indian family courts — preventable through early specialist legal counsel and properly structured agreements

Family law disputes are among the most financially and emotionally costly legal proceedings — and the outcome is largely determined by the quality of advice received in the first weeks.

Matrimonial property disputes destroy financial security

Without a properly structured matrimonial settlement, divorce proceedings can result in the sale of family homes, freezing of business interests, and years of litigation over assets that could have been resolved.

Child custody disputes require legal and psychological strategy

Custody disputes involve family courts, potential CWC involvement, and in international cases, Hague Convention proceedings — requiring lawyers who understand both the legal framework and the child welfare standards courts apply.

Succession disputes divide families and destroy estates

Intestate succession, disputed wills, and family settlement disagreements frequently result in court proceedings that consume estate assets in legal fees — preventable through proper succession planning.

Domestic violence requires immediate legal response

Protection orders, interim maintenance, residence orders, and criminal complaints under the DV Act 2005 require specialist legal action that moves at the pace the situation demands.

The SIRI Difference

Without SIRI vs. With SIRI.

General practice lawyer

Family law as a secondary practice area

Handled by lawyers whose primary focus is commercial law — lacking the court-specific experience that specialist family law counsel develops over years of dedicated practice

One-sided negotiation strategy

Proceeding with litigation without first assessing whether a structured settlement would produce a better outcome faster and at significantly lower cost

No urgent response capability

Protection orders require same-day action. General practice lawyers with full caseloads frequently cannot respond to family law emergencies at the speed the situation demands

No cross-border family law expertise

NRI matters, foreign divorce recognition, and international custody disputes require specialist knowledge that general practice lawyers do not have

SIRI Law LLP — Specialist Family Law

Dedicated family law practice

Specialist family lawyers with dedicated Family Court and High Court experience — appearing before the same judges regularly, understanding their specific approaches to custody, maintenance, and property division

Settlement-first, litigation-ready approach

Every matter assessed for settlement potential before proceedings are filed — most matters achieve better outcomes through structured negotiation than contested proceedings

Same-day emergency response

Protection orders, interim maintenance, and urgent injunctions filed the same day as instruction — with 24/7 availability for genuine family law emergencies involving safety risks

NRI and cross-border expertise

Specialist capability in NRI divorce, foreign decree recognition, international custody, ancestral property inheritance, and FEMA matrimonial property implications

Frequently Asked Questions

Family law,
answered clearly.

How long does a divorce take in India?
A mutual consent divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act takes a minimum of 6 months from filing (with a mandatory 6-month cooling off period, which courts can waive). Contested divorce proceedings can take 3–10 years depending on the complexity of the dispute and the court. SIRI works consistently toward the earliest possible resolution.
How is matrimonial property divided in India?
India does not have a community property regime. Courts have discretion under the Hindu Marriage Act to award property settlements based on the parties' contributions, needs, and circumstances. The Supreme Court has progressively recognised homemakers' contributions to matrimonial property in recent judgments.
What is the process for obtaining a protection order under the DV Act?
A Magistrate can issue a Protection Order under Section 18 of the DV Act on an ex parte basis if there is reasonable apprehension of domestic violence. The order can be obtained within days of filing in urgent cases. SIRI can file the application, attend the Magistrate's hearing, and secure the order — with simultaneous criminal complaint filing where appropriate.
Can a foreign divorce be recognised in India?
A foreign divorce decree is recognised in India if it was granted by a competent court in the foreign jurisdiction, is not contrary to natural justice, is not obtained by fraud, and does not violate Indian public policy. SIRI advises on foreign divorce recognition and manages the Indian court process where required.
How does succession work if there is no Will?
If a Hindu male dies intestate, his property devolves under the Hindu Succession Act 1956 with Class I heirs (widow, sons, daughters, and specified dependants) taking equally. Muslims and Christians are governed by separate personal law. SIRI advises on intestate succession rights and helps families navigate succession disputes or estate administration without a Will.
