7-Step Process of Mutual Divorce in Gurgaon Family Courts
Step 1: Apply for Divorce Online | Fee: ₹1,000
One spouse fills out our Mutual Divorce Online Form and pays the ₹1,000 fee. This initiates a confidential email conversation with both parties. We first advise careful reconsideration. If both remain firm, we guide them to discuss mutual settlement terms.
Step 2: Settlement Terms | Documents
Both parties provide the finalized, mutually agreed-upon terms (child custody, maintenance, property division) and all necessary documents (address proof, marriage proof, etc.) via email.
Step 3: Draft Mutual Divorce Petition | Fee: ₹4,000 (₹9,000 for NRIs)
We finalize your joint mutual divorce petition and all supporting affidavits, ensuring all mutually agreed terms are accurately incorporated and the necessary documents are properly attached. For NRIs, a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) document also needs to be drafted.
Step 4: First Motion Hearing in Court | Fee: ₹20,000 (₹25,000 for NRIs)
Once your Mutual Divorce Petition is finalized, the husband and wife will need to visit the Gurgaon court to sign the petition. On the same day, we will file your case in the family court, and the first motion hearing will take place. At this hearing, we will present your case before the judge, who will record the initial statements and consent from both parties. The husband and wife must visit the court. For NRI clients, their SPA must be physically present in court.
Step 5: Cooling off Period
After the first motion, the court directs the couple to observe a six-month cooling-off period. If the parties wish to proceed sooner, they can jointly file an application to waive this period. If the waiver is granted by the court, the second motion hearing can be scheduled earlier than six months.
Step 6: Second Motion Hearing in Court | Fee: ₹20,000 (₹25,000 for NRIs)
We represent you at the final hearing where both parties reaffirm their mutual consent for divorce before the judge. This concludes the court appearances, leading to the judge’s approval of the divorce decree. The husband and wife must visit the court. For NRI clients, their SPA must be physically present in court.
Step 7: Divorce Decree from Court
Shortly after the second motion hearing, the Gurgaon Family Court issues two certified divorce decrees—one for the husband and one for the wife. We promptly mail these to both parties upon receipt from the court. Alternatively, the parties may collect the decrees directly from our office.

Mutual Divorce in Gurgaon
To begin your mutual divorce process in Gurgaon, one spouse fills out our Mutual Divorce Online Form and pays the ₹1,000 fee. Once the form is submitted, we initiate a confidential email conversation with husband and wife within 12 hours. We first advise careful reconsideration. If both parties remain firm in their decision, we then guide them through discussing mutual settlement terms of divorce.
While the initial stages can be managed online, the final legal steps require physical presence at the Gurgaon Family Court. Both spouses must physically sign the mutual divorce petition and are required to appear in person for the court hearings.
In exceptional circumstances, such as if one or both spouses are NRIs living abroad or have a compelling reason they cannot attend, you can nominate a family member to appear in court on your behalf with a notarized Special Power of Attorney (SPoA). The court will review such requests on a case-by-case basis.

To establish jurisdiction and file your case in Gurgaon, you must meet one of two criteria:
- Provide a valid Gurgaon address proof in the name of either the husband or wife, or
- Provide proof that your marriage was solemnized in Gurgaon.
A rent agreement is accepted as valid address proof by the Gurgaon family courts.
Additionally, you must submit an original marriage proof, which can be:
- Marriage Certificate
- Wedding Invitation Card
- A certificate issued by the religious institution where the marriage was solemnized
The mutual divorce process in Gurgaon follows a structured 7-step approach:
- Start Online: One spouse fills out our Mutual Divorce Online Form and pays the ₹1,000 fee. This initiates a confidential email conversation with both parties.
- Share Settlement Terms & Documents: Finalize mutual agreements (child custody, maintenance, etc.) and submit required documents.
- Petition Finalization (₹4,000): We draft and finalize your court petition with all terms.
- First Motion Hearing (₹20,000): Both spouses physically sign the petition in court. The judge records statements.
- Cooling-Off Period: A 6-month waiting period (can be waived via court application).
- Second Motion Hearing (₹20,000): Both parties reaffirm consent. The judge approves the divorce.
- Receive Decree: The court issues the divorce decree, mailed to you or collected from our office.
The number of court visits required for a mutual divorce in Gurgaon depends on whether you seek to waive the mandatory 6-month cooling-off period:
- Without Waiver (2 Visits):
If you complete the full 6-month cooling-off period, you will need to visit the court twice:- First Motion Hearing: To record your initial joint statement and consent before the judge.
- Second Motion Hearing: To reaffirm your consent and obtain the final divorce decree.
- With Waiver (3 Visits):
If you apply to waive the cooling-off period, you will need to visit the court three times:- First Motion Hearing: To record your initial consent.
- Waiver Application Hearing: To formally request the waiver of the 6-month period.
- Second Motion Hearing: To reaffirm consent and receive the decree.
Please note: Court schedules can be unpredictable. Occasionally, hearings may be postponed due to judicial leave, administrative delays, or incomplete paperwork, which could require additional visits. We strive to minimize these inconveniences by ensuring all documents are meticulously prepared and filed correctly.
The timeline varies. If the court allows a waiver of the 6-month waiting period, the process can be completed in approximately 1 month . Without the waiver, it typically takes 6-7 months. Timelines depend on factors like court schedules and your cooperation.
If you reside outside Gurgaon, you can complete the mutual divorce process by nominating a family member to represent you in court. You must appoint a family member (e.g., parent, sibling) through a notarized Special Power of Attorney (SPoA) document. This authorizes them to sign papers, submit documents, and appear in court on your behalf.
Note for NRIs: For clients residing abroad, we have a dedicated process and fee structure for NRI Mutual Divorce to handle the additional complexities.
The fee is ₹15,000 higher for NRIs because they typically cannot travel to India for the court proceedings, which necessitates additional legal work. However, if an NRI client is able to travel to India for the required hearings, the additional fee will be waived.
