Where we come in
Five things we often see.
Each is understandable, and each can be softened with early advice.
Acting in anger
Messages, social posts and sudden decisions are often used later in proceedings. Take a breath and take advice first.
Signing papers without reading them
Settlement terms about children, property and maintenance can be difficult to change later. Understand them before you sign.
Moving out or removing children without advice
Some steps can affect custody, residence and property claims. Ask before you act.
Not keeping financial records
Bank, property and income records matter for maintenance and division of assets. Keep and copy them.
Delay in seeking protection
If you feel unsafe, do not wait. Protection orders and support are available and we can guide you.

Questions
Common questions.
General information only, not legal advice. Every situation differs, so speak to us about yours.
What is divorce by mutual consent?
When both spouses agree to end the marriage and settle terms such as maintenance, custody and property, they can apply together to the family court. There is usually a waiting period between the two motions, which a court can sometimes shorten in suitable cases.
We draft the agreement and guide you through the process.
Which law applies to my divorce?
It depends on your religion and how you married. Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Parsis and those married under the Special Marriage Act are governed by different laws.
We identify the law that applies to you at the first consultation.
How is child custody decided?
Courts decide on the welfare of the child, considering the child's age, needs, each parent's circumstances and, for older children, their views. Joint arrangements and visitation are common.
We help you present a clear, child-focused case or agreement.
Who pays maintenance?
Either spouse can be asked to pay depending on income, needs and circumstances, and parents are generally responsible for children's support. Courts can order interim maintenance while a case is pending.
We advise whether to claim or defend.
What protection is available against domestic violence?
The law provides for protection orders, residence rights, and monetary relief, and covers physical, emotional, sexual and economic abuse. Police and protection officers can assist.
If you are in danger, contact emergency services first. We can then help with the legal steps.
Do I need a will?
A will lets you decide who receives your property and can prevent disputes. Without one, succession follows the law applicable to your faith.
We draft wills and family settlement arrangements.
How much does this cost?
We give a written estimate after the first consultation and agree fees in writing before starting. Mutual consent matters are often available at fixed fees, and contested cases are scoped by stage.
We aim to keep costs predictable.
