For a mutual divorce in Delhi, both spouses typically need to visit the court four times:
- First Motion Signing: To physically sign the joint petition at the court.
- First Motion Hearing: To appear before the judge to record your initial statements and consent.
- Second Motion Signing: To sign the second motion petition at the court.
- Second Motion Hearing: To reappear before the judge to reaffirm your mutual consent and obtain the final divorce 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.
Note: If either spouse is outside Delhi, documents can be mailed for signing (after notarization), but physical presence is mandatory for hearings unless the court grants an exemption for virtual appearance, which is rare and subject to the judge’s discretion.
