The fastest way to end a marriage legally in Delhi when both spouses agree. Under Section 13-B of the Hindu Marriage Act, the entire process typically takes 6 to 8 months. Advocate Priya Paul handles the settlement agreement, joint petition drafting, both court hearings, and the final decree — ensuring nothing is missed and no agreement can be challenged later.
When one spouse does not agree to the divorce, or when grounds need to be established under law (cruelty, desertion, adultery, unsound mind), the process is more complex. Advocate Priya Paul has extensive contested divorce experience before Delhi Family Courts — building strong evidentiary cases and arguing effectively before the bench.
During divorce proceedings, Advocate Priya Paul files for interim maintenance under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act to ensure financial support is secured from the very beginning of the case — not after the final decree.

A mutual consent divorce in Delhi takes approximately 6 to 8 months from filing, including the mandatory 6-month cooling-off period under Section 13-B HMA, though courts may waive this period in exceptional circumstances. A contested divorce typically takes 2 to 5 years depending on the grounds, evidence, and the specific court’s pendency. Advocate Priya Paul provides a realistic timeline estimate during the first consultation based on your specific case.
Under Section 13 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the recognised grounds for divorce include cruelty (mental or physical), desertion for a continuous period of not less than two years, adultery, conversion to another religion, unsoundness of mind, communicable venereal disease, and leprosy. Mutual consent divorce under Section 13-B does not require establishing any ground — both parties must agree voluntarily.
Documents required to file for divorce in Delhi include: the original marriage certificate, proof of residence in Delhi for at least one year, identity proof of both parties (Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID), photographs from the marriage, and any relevant evidence supporting the grounds for divorce. For mutual divorce, a joint statement and settlement agreement regarding custody, maintenance, and property is also required. Advocate Priya Paul prepares all documents on your behalf.
In mutual consent divorce under Section 13-B HMA, both spouses agree to separate and file jointly — it is faster (6 to 8 months) and less adversarial. In a contested divorce under Section 13 HMA, one spouse files against the other citing specific legal grounds, and the court decides the outcome after a full trial — it typically takes 2 to 5 years and requires strong evidence and active court representation.
Yes. Under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act, either spouse (husband or wife) can claim interim maintenance during divorce proceedings if they lack sufficient income for their own support. Courts in Delhi typically award interim maintenance within 2 to 4 months of the application being filed. Advocate Priya Paul files this application immediately when appropriate, ensuring financial support is secured from the early stages of the case.
Yes, both parties are generally required to appear in court on most hearing dates in a contested divorce, though Advocate Priya Paul gives you advance notice of each hearing and prepares you fully before each appearance. In mutual consent divorce, both parties appear for two court dates — the first motion and second motion hearings. Advocate Priya Paul accompanies you and handles all oral arguments at every appearance.
Whether you are considering a mutual divorce, facing a contested divorce, or simply need clarity on your legal options, Advocate Priya Paul is here to help. The first consultation is free, confidential, and comes with no obligation to proceed.
