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.
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.

Case Study · International Child Custody
NRI father secures custody of children
after wrongful removal to India.
An NRI client in the UK engaged SIRI Law LLP after his spouse removed their two children to Hyderabad in breach of a UK court custody order. SIRI Law LLP filed an urgent habeas corpus petition and simultaneously engaged with the UK High Court, navigating the Hague Convention framework in an Indian context. The children were returned to the client's custody within 6 weeks under a structured order addressing both jurisdictions.
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

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
