Divorce lawyers in RR Nagar, Bengaluru

If you live in Rajarajeshwari Nagar and are thinking about a divorce, you can meet a divorce lawyer in RR Nagar itself instead of going into the city for the first conversation. Our office is in Janankshi Layout, RR Nagar 5th Stage. You can come alone, and nothing is filed until you decide.

The first meeting

Most people want to know three things: can I get a divorce, how long will it take, and what happens to the children and the money. We answer those after hearing what has happened. It helps to bring:

• the marriage certificate or wedding invitation and photos, if there was no registration
• the date you and your spouse started living separately
• details of any case already filed by either side, such as a police complaint or a maintenance petition
• a rough list of income, property and loans in both names

Mutual consent or contested

A mutual consent divorce under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act is possible when both of you agree and have lived separately for at least a year. You file one joint petition. The law has a six-month wait before the second motion, which the court can waive in suitable cases. How long a mutual divorce takes in Bangalore covers the timeline.

A contested divorce is filed by one spouse on a ground set out in the law, such as cruelty or desertion. It needs evidence and usually takes much longer. See contested divorce in Bengaluru for the stages.

Children and maintenance

Custody is decided on the welfare of the child, and the court can pass orders on custody and visiting rights while the divorce is pending. Read child custody in Bengaluru.

A wife who cannot support herself, and children, can claim maintenance under Section 144 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (earlier Section 125 CrPC), and interim maintenance can be asked for in the divorce case itself. See maintenance for wife and children.

Which court

Divorce cases from RR Nagar are heard by the family courts in Bengaluru. The main family court complex is in central Bengaluru, off the road from Lalbagh Main Gate towards Shanthinagar. Under Section 19 of the Hindu Marriage Act, you can file where the marriage took place, where your spouse lives, where you last lived together, or, for a wife filing the case, where she now lives. Our guide to the family court in Bengaluru explains what a hearing day looks like.

If you live in RR Nagar, the office is close: Janankshi Layout is in the 5th Stage, south of Mysore Road, and a short drive from Ideal Homes, BEML Layout and the other stages. From the Rajarajeshwari Nagar metro station, take an auto.

Privacy

Many people from the neighbourhood worry about being seen at a lawyer’s office or about relatives finding out. What you tell an advocate is confidential, and the Family Courts Act allows proceedings to be held in private when either side asks.

Questions people ask

Can I file for divorce in Bengaluru if we married in another town?

Yes, if you last lived together in Bengaluru, or if your spouse lives here. A wife can also file where she now lives. We check which court fits before drafting.

Do I have to tell my spouse before meeting a lawyer?

No. A first meeting is confidential, and many people come to understand their options before saying anything at home.

Is mediation compulsory?

The Family Courts Act asks the court to try for a settlement first, so contested cases are commonly referred to mediation early on. Mediation can end in a settlement, a mutual divorce, or a return to court if it fails.
