While the initial stages (filling the form, receiving documents, and consultations) can be managed online, the final legal steps require physical presence or formal procedures:
- Signing Documents:
Both spouses must physically sign the first and second motion papers. If either party is outside Delhi, we can mail the documents for signing. The signed papers must then be notarized locally and the originals mailed back to us for court submission. - Court Appearances:
Physical presence is mandatory for court hearings in Delhi. The city has six family courts (Dwarka, Saket, Patiala House, Rohini, Tis Hazari and Karkardooma), and your case is filed based on the address on your documents. - Exceptions for NRIs/Non-Residents:
In exceptional cases (e.g., NRIs living abroad), you can request virtual hearings. However, this is solely at the judge’s discretion and not guaranteed. Alternatives include appointing a representative via a Special Power of Attorney (SPoA).
