Start with the facts that determine the next step
Delhi-related content does not establish jurisdiction by itself. The marriage, residences, pending cases, orders, children, assets and relief sought should be reviewed. Published consultation locations are Gurugram and Meerut; confirm appointment or remote-consultation arrangements before travelling.
Consent must cover more than separation
Both spouses should understand the terms concerning maintenance or alimony, children, belongings, pending complaints, property and implementation. Unclear obligations can create later disputes even where divorce itself is agreed.
Prepare the factual and document record
Organise the marriage certificate or available proof, photographs where relevant, identity and address records, separation chronology, income and asset information needed for settlement, child details and copies of pending proceedings.
Timeline claims need caution
Statutory stages, any application concerning the waiting period, service, statements and court scheduling are case-specific. Do not rely on a guaranteed completion date from an advertisement.
Documents for the first discussion
- A one-page chronology with dates and current contact addresses.
- Marriage record and copies of existing petitions, notices or orders.
- Only the financial, child-related or digital records relevant to your question.
- A list of urgent dates, safety concerns and the outcome you want to discuss.
Do not send identity numbers, passwords, complete bank records or private child information through an initial WhatsApp message.
