Marriage
Marriage is a significant milestone, and navigating its legal aspects correctly is crucial. I assist you with the legal procedures for two main types of marriage
Marriage under the Special Marriage Act
This Act allows individuals of different religions or castes to marry without needing any specific religious rituals. I will guide you through the entire process, including filing the application, preparing the necessary documents, and completing the mandatory 30-day notice period.
Marriage Registration under the Hindu Marriage Act
If your marriage has been performed according to Hindu rituals, it is essential to have it legally registered. Registration provides legal recognition to your marriage. I will assist you with the application process, coordinating with witnesses, and appearing before the Marriage Registrar.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Contested Divorce is filed when one spouse wants a divorce and the other does not. It requires proving legal grounds such as cruelty, adultery or desertion.

Basic requirements include marriage proof, ID and address proof of both spouses, photographs, and any evidence supporting the grounds for divorce. In Mutual Divorce, a joint petition and settlement terms are also required. I help prepare all documents to avoid delays.
Yes. Custody, visitation, maintenance and protection orders can be requested during the case. Interim reliefs can also be secured before the final judgment. I work to protect your rights and negotiate fair terms.
