Certainly. Once your mutual divorce petition is finalized and filed, the process in Bengaluru Family Courts typically follows these steps:
- First Motion Filing & Hearing: We file the joint petition in the appropriate court (Bengaluru Urban or Rural, based on jurisdiction). The first hearing is then held, where the judge records your statements.
- Mediation Referral: The court typically refers the case to a mediation cell. This is a standard procedure to ensure the decision is mutual and voluntary.
- Final Hearing (Second Motion): After the mediation process is complete, the final hearing is scheduled. If the judge is satisfied that all terms are mutually agreed upon, the divorce is granted.
- Decree Issued: The court issues the mutual divorce decree, legally dissolving the marriage.
