Courts and jurisdiction in Delhi
In Delhi, 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.
Delhi's family courts sit in several district court complexes rather than in one place. Which one hears your mutual divorce petition depends on where you live or where you last lived together, so it is worth confirming the right complex before filing. Filing in the wrong one can cost you weeks.
Delhi is also joined to Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram and Faridabad, so many couples live across two states. If one of you lives outside Delhi, the court, and even the High Court, can be different. Our Delhi-NCR guide explains how to work out where to file.

How mutual divorce works in Delhi
- How long it takes
- From the first motion to the final decree, mutual divorce in Delhi commonly takes anywhere from a few months to about a year, depending on the family court, the bench, and whether the waiting period is waived.
- 6-month waiting period
- The law prescribes a 6-month gap between the first and second motion, but since the Supreme Court's Amardeep Singh (2017) ruling, family courts can waive it when reconciliation is not possible and the settlement is final. Whether it is waived is up to the judge, so your lawyer will make the case for it in your petition.
- Court appearance
- The first motion usually needs both spouses present before the judge. Delhi courts have allowed video-conference appearances in many matters, which can help if one of you lives elsewhere. Your lawyer will confirm what your court permits.
- Filing
- The joint petition is filed in the family court with jurisdiction over your case. Filing is generally handled by your lawyer, who prepares the petition, affidavits, and supporting documents such as your marriage certificate and address proofs.
- Court fee & stamp paper
- Court fees for a mutual divorce petition are modest, and affidavits are notarised on stamp paper as required in Delhi. Your lawyer will give you the exact costs upfront.
