Courts and jurisdiction in Chennai
In Chennai, mutual divorce petitions are typically filed in the family court with jurisdiction over your matrimonial home or current residence. Your lawyer will confirm the exact court once you share your details.
Chennai has a Principal Family Court along with several Additional Family Courts, and family matters under the Hindu Marriage Act, including mutual consent divorce, are heard by these Family Courts. They sit in the City Civil Court complex on the Madras High Court campus, and the Madras High Court is the High Court above them.
Greater Chennai and its suburbs are not one single court area. Tambaram, Chengalpattu, Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur have their own court centres, so a couple living on the edge of the city should confirm which family court will hear their petition before filing. The right court generally depends on where you married, last lived together or currently live.
