FAQs
Questions clients ask about family & matrimonial law
- What are the grounds for divorce in India?
- Grounds vary by personal law and may include cruelty, desertion, adultery, conversion, mental disorder, and mutual consent. We advise based on the applicable law.
- How is child custody decided?
- Courts decide custody based on the welfare of the child, considering factors such as age, financial stability, environment, and the child's wishes where appropriate.

- Yes. Many matrimonial matters are resolved through mediation, negotiation, or mutual consent divorce, which can be faster and less adversarial.
