How the first consultation is prepared
- Identify the legal relationship and applicable law. Record the date and place of marriage, registration details, religion or governing statute, and present status.
- Check jurisdiction. Marriage location, last shared residence, current residence and other statutory connections may affect where a case can be filed.
- Separate urgent issues. Safety, domestic violence, child access, maintenance, travel restrictions or asset risks may require separate and time-sensitive steps.
- Organise evidence. Preserve lawful communications, financial records, identity documents, court notices and a dated chronology. Do not obtain evidence unlawfully.
- Define the engagement. Scope, professional fees, expected disbursements and exclusions are confirmed before paid work begins. No outcome is guaranteed.
Documents useful for a divorce consultation
- Marriage certificate or other available proof of marriage.
- Identity and address documents for both spouses, where available.
- A concise chronology of marriage, separation and significant events.
- Previous petitions, notices, police complaints, mediation papers or court orders.
- Income, employment, bank, tax and expense records relevant to financial claims.
- Children's age, schooling, health and present-care information for custody issues.
- For NRI matters: passport, visa, overseas address, travel and foreign-proceeding records.
Send only documents requested through an agreed channel. Avoid publishing confidential family information in open forms or public comments.
Fees and affordable consultation
There is no universal divorce-lawyer fee because mutual-consent drafting, a contested case, interim applications, evidence and repeated court appearances involve different work. A transparent quote should distinguish consultation, drafting, filing, appearance and external court or administrative expenses. A free initial consultation may be available on weekends, subject to appointment availability; it is an initial issue-identification discussion, not a promise of full free representation.

Delhi location and court connection
This page describes matters connected with Delhi and Delhi NCR courts. It does not claim that every matter belongs in Delhi or that an office exists in every locality. Advocate Aayush Agarwal's published offices are in Gurugram and Meerut, while consultation and representation for a Delhi matter are considered only after checking jurisdiction, availability, professional engagement and any court-specific requirement.
Official procedural information should be checked against the relevant court and legislation. Useful starting points include the Delhi District Courts and India Code.
Delhi divorce consultation FAQs
Who is a divorce lawyer in Delhi?
A divorce lawyer advises and represents clients in matrimonial proceedings properly connected with Delhi courts. Advocate Aayush Agarwal is enrolled with the Bar Council of Delhi and considers mutual, contested, NRI, custody, maintenance and connected matters after reviewing jurisdiction and documents.
How much does a divorce lawyer cost in Delhi?
Fees vary with the route, complexity, drafting, interim applications, evidence and number of appearances. Request a written scope that separates professional fees from court fees, service costs and other external expenses.
What is the cost of mutual-consent divorce in Delhi?
There is no single statutory lawyer fee. Cost depends on settlement drafting, filing, appearances, documentation and whether connected issues are already resolved. A case-specific quote should be agreed before work starts.
How much does a contested divorce cost?
A contested matter is case-specific and can involve pleadings, interim relief, evidence, cross-examination and appeals. A reliable estimate requires the petition, chronology, existing orders and expected scope.
Can an NRI seek divorce through Indian courts?
Sometimes, but Indian jurisdiction and the applicable marriage law must be established. Overseas residence alone neither creates nor removes jurisdiction. Foreign proceedings and decrees may also require a separate validity review.
Can an NRI attend proceedings remotely?
Remote participation may be requested in suitable circumstances, but it is not automatic. The applicable procedure and directions of the court control whether a particular appearance can occur by video conference or through authorised steps.
Which Delhi court handles a matrimonial case?
The correct forum depends on statutory jurisdiction, including facts such as where the marriage occurred, where the parties last lived together and where an eligible petitioner resides. A locality name alone is not enough.
Can I consult a Delhi divorce advocate online?
Yes, an initial document-led consultation may be conducted remotely when suitable. Representation, filing and court appearances require a separate conflict check, engagement and jurisdiction assessment.
What should I bring to the first consultation?
Bring marriage proof, identity and address records, a short chronology, existing notices or orders, relevant financial records and child-related information. NRI clients should also bring passport, visa and overseas proceeding records.
How should I choose a divorce lawyer in Delhi?
Compare relevant experience, clarity about jurisdiction, document review, confidentiality, realistic advice, fee scope and communication. Read the ten-question lawyer selection guide.
