What is the process of filing for a divorce in India?
Answer:
There are two types of divorce – mutual consent and contested. In mutual divorce, both spouses agree to separate and file a joint petition. It usually takes 6–8 months. In contested divorce, one spouse files the case based on grounds like cruelty, desertion, adultery, etc., and the process can take longer. At NM Legal Associates, we guide you through the entire process and represent your case in family court.
How can I get custody of my child after divorce?
Answer:
Child custody is decided by the court based on the child’s welfare and best interest. Courts usually grant custody to one parent and visitation rights to the other. We help you file for custody, visitation, or joint parenting depending on your situation and ensure your rights as a parent are protected.
Can a woman claim maintenance or alimony from her husband?
Answer:
Yes. A wife (legally married) can claim maintenance or alimony if she is financially dependent on her husband. This can be claimed during separation, after divorce, or if the husband has refused to maintain her. We help file Section 125 CrPC petitions or claims under relevant marriage laws to ensure fair support.
What legal action can I take against domestic violence or dowry harassment?
Answer:
Victims of domestic violence or dowry harassment can file complaints under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act and Section 498A of IPC. We help obtain protection orders, residence rights, and monetary relief from the court, and file FIRs or bail applications if needed.
How are inheritance rights handled in family disputes?
Answer:
Inheritance rights are governed by succession laws based on religion and personal law. We assist in obtaining succession certificates, legal heirship documents, or resolving disputes related to wills and property. We ensure rightful heirs receive their fair share through legal action or family settlements.
