Mutual consent divorce under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act is the fastest and least adversarial route to dissolve a marriage. Here is exactly how the process runs at Saket Family Court.
Both spouses (or the initiating spouse) meet the advocate to discuss grounds, settlement terms, and a realistic timeline. Fees are confirmed in writing.
The petition under Section 13B HMA is drafted along with a Memorandum of Settlement covering maintenance, custody, and property if agreed by both sides.
Both parties appear before Saket Family Court for the first motion. The court records their statements confirming consent and may grant interim custody or visitation orders.
A statutory cooling-off period of six months applies. Both parties can jointly move the court to waive it — which courts often allow, especially where a full settlement has already been reached.
Both parties appear again after the cooling-off period for the second motion statement. The court confirms consent and hears both sides before moving to judgment.
