What is a Mutual Divorce?

A mutual divorce (also called divorce by mutual consent) means both husband and wife agree to end the marriage amicably. It avoids long legal battles, reduces emotional stress, and ensures a faster resolution.

Under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, both parties can jointly file for divorce if:

• They have been living separately for at least one year, and

• They mutually agree that the marriage has broken down beyond repair.

Legal Requirements for Mutual Divorce

To file for mutual divorce in Jaipur or anywhere in India, the following conditions must be met:

1. One Year of Separation – The couple must have lived apart for at least 12 months.

2. Mutual Consent – Both parties must willingly agree to the divorce.

3. Settlement of Key Matters – Issues like child custody, alimony, and property division should be settled mutually before filing.

Step-by-Step Process of Mutual Divorce in Jaipur

Our lawyers handle the complete procedure for you, ensuring clarity and comfort at each step.

Step 1: Drafting the Petition

A joint petition is prepared covering:

• Details of marriage

• Period of separation

• Reason for seeking divorce

• Mutual terms on maintenance, custody, and assets

Step 2: First Motion Hearing

Both parties appear before the Family Court in Jaipur. The court records their statements and grants a six-month cooling-off period (which may be waived in some cases).

Step 3: Second Motion Hearing

After six months (or sooner if waived), both parties confirm their decision before the judge. The court then issues a final divorce decree legally ending the marriage.
