How mutual divorce works in Bangalore

How long it takes
In Bangalore, mutual divorce commonly takes from a few months to about a year from the first motion, depending on the family court and whether the waiting period is waived.
6-month waiting period
The 6-month gap between the two motions can be waived if the court is satisfied that reconciliation is not possible and terms are settled, following the Supreme Court's Amardeep Singh (2017) judgment. It is at the judge's discretion.
Court appearance
Spouses generally appear together for the first motion. Karnataka courts have permitted video-conference hearings in many matters, so ask your lawyer if one of you can't be in Bangalore.
Filing
The joint petition is filed in the family court with jurisdiction over your case. Your lawyer handles drafting and filing, including affidavits, marriage proof, and address documents.
Court fee & stamp paper
Court fees are modest and affidavits are executed on stamp paper as required in Karnataka. Your lawyer will confirm exact costs upfront.
