Understanding Divorce in Jaipur Jurisdiction

In Jaipur, all divorce petitions are filed and heard under the Family Court, Jaipur, which has exclusive jurisdiction over matrimonial and family matters. The process and jurisdiction depend on factors such as:

• Place of marriage (if solemnized in Jaipur)

• Place where the couple last resided together (in Jaipur)

• Current residence of the wife or husband within Jaipur jurisdiction

If any of these apply, the Jaipur Family Court has authority to hear your case under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, the Special Marriage Act, 1954, or other relevant personal laws.

Types of Divorce You Can File in Jaipur

1. Mutual Consent Divorce

When both husband and wife agree to end the marriage amicably, a mutual consent divorce petition can be filed before the Jaipur Family Court.
Our lawyers assist in drafting the petition, preparing the settlement terms (maintenance, alimony, child custody, etc.), and ensuring a smooth hearing process.

Timeline: Usually 6 months (may vary depending on court schedule and reconciliation period).

2. Contested Divorce

If one party does not consent to the divorce, it becomes a contested divorce, which can be filed on grounds like cruelty, adultery, desertion, mental disorder, conversion, or irretrievable breakdown of marriage.
Our team represents you throughout the process — from evidence collection to cross-examination — before the Jaipur Family Court.

Jurisdiction: Contested divorces are filed based on the residence or place of marriage within Jaipur’s jurisdiction (e.g., Civil Lines, Mansarovar, Vaishali Nagar, or Jagatpura).

3. NRI Divorce Cases

For NRIs having marital ties connected to Jaipur — whether the marriage was solemnized in Jaipur or one spouse resides here — we handle online and in-person representation before the Jaipur Family Court.
We also coordinate through video conferencing and Power of Attorney filings, ensuring your legal process continues smoothly while you’re abroad.
