Mutual Divorce in Delhi — Expert Lawyers, Seamless Court Filing

You have made the decision. Now let us make the process as simple, private, and fast as it can possibly be. Easy Divorce connects you with verified, experienced mutual divorce lawyers across all Delhi Family Courts — Saket, Dwarka, Rohini, Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, and Patiala House — with a 100% success rate and complete confidentiality. Most of the process happens online. You attend just two court hearings. Our verified lawyers handle everything else.

Documents You Will Need

  • Marriage Certificate — or an acceptable alternative if the original is unavailable
  • Recent joint photograph from the wedding ceremony
  • Passport-size photographs of both spouses
  • Valid identity and address proof — Aadhaar, Passport, or Voter ID

Our verified lawyers conduct a complete document review before any filing. Missing documents are identified and resolved early — never at the hearing stage.

Which Delhi Family Court Will Handle Your Case?

Delhi’s jurisdiction is strictly divided by police district. Filing in the wrong court leads to immediate return of the petition, costing you weeks. Easy Divorce’s verified lawyers confirm the correct court before a single document is drafted.

  • Saket Court — Hauz Khas, Saket, Mehrauli, Greater Kailash, Malviya Nagar
  • Dwarka Court — Dwarka, Janakpuri, Uttam Nagar, Palam, Vikas Puri
  • Patiala House — Connaught Place, New Delhi, Tilak Marg, Chanakyapuri
  • Tis Hazari — Old Delhi, Civil Lines, Karol Bagh, Paharganj
  • Karkardooma — Laxmi Nagar, Preet Vihar, Mayur Vihar, Shahdara
  • Rohini Court — Rohini, Pitampura, Shalimar Bagh, Prashant Vihar

The Complete Delhi Mutual Divorce Process — Step by Step

Step 1: Apply Online (Rs. 999)

Begin by submitting your details through our online form. This allows preliminary assessment of jurisdiction, separation period, and eligibility before proceeding.

Step 2: Verification of Mutual Consent

Both spouses independently confirm their free and voluntary consent via our formal verification system. The process only moves forward when both parties are ready.

Step 3: Settlement Terms Finalized

You and your spouse mutually agree on alimony, child custody, visitation rights, maintenance, and division of assets. Our verified lawyers structure these terms into a legally enforceable Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

Step 4: Document Review and Petition Drafting (Rs. 9,000)

All supporting documents are reviewed to confirm proper jurisdiction under Section 19 of the Hindu Marriage Act. The joint petition, affidavits, and settlement documents are drafted and shared with both parties for approval.

Step 5: First Motion Petition Filing (Rs. 10,000)

The finalized petition is filed before the appropriate Delhi Family Court and the case is listed for the First Motion hearing. Both spouses are informed of court dates well in advance.

Step 6: First Motion Hearing

Both parties appear before the court to record statements affirming mutual consent and settlement terms. For NRIs, appearance through video conferencing may be permitted subject to court approval.

Step 7: Cooling-Off Period or Waiver

A statutory 6-month cooling-off period generally applies. Where both parties have been separated for over a year and reconciliation is clearly not possible, courts may waive this period entirely — as upheld in Amardeep Singh v. Harveen Kaur (2017). Easy Divorce assesses waiver eligibility from day one.

Step 8: Second Motion Hearing (Rs. 20,001)

Both parties reaffirm consent before the judge. All formalities are completed and the court grants the Divorce Decree. The decree is a final, legally valid document across India and internationally.

NRI and Outstation Clients — Delhi Divorce Made Easy

One Spouse in Another Indian City

If one of you has relocated outside Delhi, the petition can still be filed in the appropriate Delhi court based on your last shared address or the wife’s current Delhi residence. The outstation spouse participates entirely online — document sharing, settlement review, and petition signing are all coordinated digitally.

One Spouse Living Abroad

NRI clients regularly file mutual divorce in Delhi. A Special Power of Attorney covers representation for procedural steps, and the court permits video conferencing for statement recording.

Frequently Asked Questions — Delhi Mutual Divorce

How long does a mutual divorce take in Delhi?

In eligible cases with a cooling-off waiver, the entire process can conclude in 2-3 months. Without waiver, the timeline is typically 7-9 months. Easy Divorce assesses waiver eligibility on every case from day one.

Do both spouses need to appear in court?

Yes, both spouses must appear at each hearing. For NRI cases, the court may permit video conferencing. Our verified lawyers coordinate all court appearances on your behalf and ensure you are fully prepared.

What if one spouse is uncooperative?

If your spouse is not cooperating, mutual consent divorce cannot proceed. Easy Divorce recommends sending a formal legal notice as the first step — it creates a legal record and often prompts engagement. Contact us to discuss your options.
