File Mutual Divorce in Delhi

Filing a mutual consent divorce in Delhi follows a structured legal procedure under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. From online initiation to issuance of the final decree by Family Courts at Saket, Dwarka, Rohini, or Tis Hazari, each stage is governed by clearly defined statutory and procedural requirements.

Step 1

Apply Online to Begin Mutual Divorce (₹999)

The process begins with submission of essential details through our online form. This allows preliminary assessment of jurisdiction, separation period, and eligibility before proceeding with formal petition drafting in Delhi.

Step 2

Verification of Mutual Consent

Both spouses must independently confirm their free and voluntary consent to dissolve the marriage. The matter proceeds as a mutual consent divorce only after written confirmation from both parties is recorded.

Step 3

Settlement Terms Finalised Between Spouses

The couple mutually finalises terms relating to alimony, child custody, visitation rights, maintenance, and division of assets. These agreed terms are structured into a legally enforceable Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

Step 4

Document Review & Petition Drafting (₹9,000)

All supporting documents are reviewed to confirm that the Delhi Family Court has proper jurisdiction under Section 19 of the Act. The joint petition, affidavits, and settlement documents are then drafted and shared for approval.

Step 5

First Motion Petition Filing (₹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 and procedural requirements in advance.

Step 6

Appearance for First Motion Hearing

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

Step 7

Cooling-off Period or Waiver Review

A statutory six-month cooling-off period generally applies between the first and second motions. Where the parties have lived separately for a prolonged duration and all issues are fully settled, a waiver application may be considered by the court.

Step 8

Second Motion Preparation (₹20,000)

Prior to the final hearing, updated affidavits and compliance documents are prepared. Coordination with the court registry ensures the matter is properly listed for the second motion stage.

Step 9

Second Motion Hearing & Judgment

During the second motion, the court reconfirms continued consent and reviews compliance with settlement terms. Upon satisfaction, the judge pronounces the order dissolving the marriage.

Step 10

Certified Divorce Decree Issuance

After the order is passed, a certified copy of the divorce decree is issued by the court registry. This certified decree formally concludes the mutual consent divorce process in Delhi.

The "Fast-Track" Waiver in Delhi Family Courts

In 2026, the Delhi Family Courts have adopted a more progressive stance on the 6-month cooling-off period. Based on Full Bench directives, our lawyers successfully move Section 13B(2) waiver applications if:

  • The parties have been separated for 18+ months.
  • All financial alimony/Streedhan issues are settled via a Registered MoU.
  • Wait time would cause "exceptional hardship" (e.g., expiring visas for NRIs).

4-8 Weeks

Average Time with Waiver

Experienced Mutual Divorce Lawyers in Delhi

Choosing to end a marriage is never an easy decision. For many couples in Delhi, however, a mutual consent divorce offers a respectful and practical way to move forward without prolonged litigation. At Mutual Divorce Online, we focus exclusively on helping couples complete this process smoothly across all major Delhi Family Courts — including Saket, Dwarka, Rohini, Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, and Patiala House.

Delhi’s court system is structured and increasingly digitized, but procedural accuracy still matters. A small drafting mistake, unclear settlement clause, or jurisdiction error can delay hearings unnecessarily. Our role is to ensure that your petition is prepared correctly the first time — with clear terms on alimony, child custody, and property — so that court proceedings remain straightforward and predictable.

Recent Case Insight:

The Situation: A working couple from South Delhi had been living separately for over a year but were unsure which district court had jurisdiction, as the marriage was solemnized in Central Delhi while the wife had moved to Dwarka.

How We Helped: After assessing jurisdiction under Section 19 of the Hindu Marriage Act, we filed the petition in the appropriate Family Court to avoid objections. The settlement terms were finalized before filing, allowing both motions to proceed without adjournments. The couple completed the process without any disruption to their professional lives.

Every case is different. Some couples prioritize speed. Others need clarity on financial terms or child arrangements. Our approach is simple — we guide you through the legal steps, explain realistic timelines in Delhi courts, and ensure that both parties understand the process before moving ahead.

If you and your spouse have mutually agreed to separate, you can begin with a confidential discussion. We’ll assess jurisdiction, eligibility, and whether a cooling-off waiver may be appropriate in your case — without pressure or obligation.

When Communication Breaks Down, Take a Structured Step Forward

If conversations have stopped and reconciliation feels unlikely, a formal legal notice can be a constructive first step. It clarifies intentions, protects your legal position, and often opens the door for a structured mutual settlement instead of prolonged conflict.
