Frequently Asked
Questions

Expert answers to common matrimonial queries in Ayodhya & Faizabad Family Courts. Direct, authoritative, and legally sound advice.

How long does a Mutual Consent Divorce take in Ayodhya?
Under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, a mutual consent divorce typically takes 6 to 18 months. However, the mandatory 6-month cooling-off period can now be waived in urgent circumstances following Supreme Court guidelines (Amardeep Singh vs. Harveen Kaur), potentially concluding the process in weeks.
What are the valid grounds for a Contested Divorce?
Section 13(1) of the HMA specifies grounds including Cruelty (mental or physical), Adultery, Desertion (2+ years), Conversion, and Unsoundness of mind. Recent judgments also consider 'Irretrievable Breakdown of Marriage' as a valid ground in high court proceedings.
How is Child Custody decided in Family Court?
The 'Welfare of the Child' is the supreme consideration. Courts determine custody based on the parent's financial stability, educational background, emotional bond, and the child's preference if they are over 9 years old. We specialize in securing Visitation Rights and Interim Custody under the Guardians & Wards Act.
Can a wife claim maintenance if she is working?
Yes. Under Section 144 BNSS (old 125 CrPC) and Section 24 HMA, a working spouse can still claim maintenance if their income is insufficient to maintain the standard of living they enjoyed during the marriage. The court balances the income and liabilities of both parties to determine a fair amount.
What to do if a false 498A (Dowry Case) is filed?
If a false Section 85 BNS (old 498A IPC) case is filed, we recommend immediately seeking Anticipatory Bail. We then proceed with filing for Quashing of the FIR in the Lucknow High Court based on lack of evidence or malicious intent, protecting you and your family from harassment.
