Divorce is often one of the most challenging experiences for individuals and families. Our legal team provides compassionate and experienced representation in both contested and mutual consent divorces, ensuring that the process is handled as smoothly as possible.

• Mutual Consent Divorce: We help couples seeking to dissolve their marriage amicably through mutual consent divorce, negotiating terms on issues like alimony, child custody, and property division, ensuring that both parties reach a fair agreement.

• Contested Divorce: In cases where disputes arise, we represent clients in contested divorce proceedings, addressing issues such as cruelty, adultery, desertion, and irreconcilable differences. Our lawyers advocate for our clients’ rights in court while aiming for the best possible outcomes.

• Judicial Separation: For couples not ready to opt for divorce but seeking legal separation, we assist in obtaining judicial separation, ensuring that financial and familial rights are protected during the period of separation.

• Annulment of Marriage: We handle cases where marriages are void or voidable under Indian law, providing legal recourse for annulment based on factors like fraud, force, impotence, or bigamy.

Child custody cases are often the most emotionally charged aspect of family law disputes. Our priority is the welfare of the child, and we work diligently to ensure that our client’s parental rights are upheld while considering the best interests of the child.

• Child Custody: We represent clients in custody battles, working towards securing either sole or joint custody arrangements that serve the child’s best interests. We handle both legal custody (decision-making authority) and physical custody (where the child resides), advocating for favorable terms for our clients.

• Visitation Rights: We help parents secure fair visitation rights, ensuring that non-custodial parents have meaningful access to their children. We also work on crafting visitation schedules that are in the best interests of the child.

• Guardianship: We assist clients in matters related to guardianship, representing parents, grandparents, and other relatives in guardianship petitions for minors, including disputes over who should have legal and physical custody of the child.

• Child Support & Maintenance: Our lawyers help in determining and securing fair child support payments, ensuring that the child’s financial needs are met after the dissolution of the marriage.

Alimony or spousal support is a crucial issue in divorce cases, particularly when there is a disparity in earning capacities between the spouses. We help clients secure fair financial settlements, ensuring that spousal support reflects their needs and financial status.

• Interim & Permanent Alimony: We represent clients in negotiating both interim (during the course of divorce proceedings) and permanent (post-divorce) alimony, ensuring that our clients are financially supported while adjusting to life after divorce.

• Modification of Alimony: In cases where circumstances change, such as remarriage or a significant change in income, we assist clients in seeking modifications to alimony arrangements through legal channels.

• Enforcement of Alimony Orders: We help clients enforce alimony orders when the paying spouse fails to meet their financial obligations, ensuring that legal action is taken to recover overdue payments.

The division of marital property and assets can be one of the most contentious aspects of divorce. Our attorneys provide expert advice on the equitable distribution of property, ensuring that our clients’ financial rights are safeguarded.

• Division of Marital Property: We assist clients in determining the fair division of marital assets, including real estate, investments, business interests, and personal property. We ensure that all marital assets are accounted for and equitably divided in accordance with the law.

• Handling Complex Assets: For high-net-worth individuals or business owners, we offer specialized expertise in handling the division of complex assets, including family businesses, intellectual property, and inherited assets.

• Settlement Negotiation: We help clients reach amicable settlements on property division through negotiation and mediation, minimizing the need for court intervention.

Domestic violence cases require immediate and decisive legal action to protect the safety of victims. Our firm provides strong legal representation for clients seeking protection from abusive relationships, ensuring that their rights are upheld and they are shielded from harm.

• Protection Orders: We help clients secure Protection Orders under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, which offers legal protection against physical, emotional, and financial abuse. We ensure that restraining orders and other legal safeguards are put in place promptly.

• Child Protection: In cases where children are at risk, we take swift legal action to protect the child, securing custody or restraining orders to prevent further harm.

• Criminal Proceedings for Domestic Abuse: We represent victims of domestic violence in criminal cases, ensuring that perpetrators are held accountable under the law.

We offer legal services for clients seeking to expand their families through adoption or surrogacy. Our team provides guidance on navigating the legal requirements and processes involved, ensuring that all formalities are completed in accordance with Indian law.

• Adoption Procedures: We handle both domestic and international adoptions, ensuring that the process complies with the guidelines set by the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) and international treaties, where applicable.

• Surrogacy Agreements: For clients opting for surrogacy, we provide legal assistance in drafting and finalizing surrogacy agreements, ensuring that all parties’ rights and obligations are clearly defined.

• Guardianship for Minors: We assist families in securing guardianship over minors, whether through adoption, foster care, or kinship arrangements, ensuring the best interests of the child are prioritized.

Inheritance and succession planning is essential for safeguarding the interests of your family and estate. Our lawyers provide expert guidance in will drafting, probate, and estate planning, ensuring that your assets are distributed according to your wishes.

• Will Drafting & Execution: We assist clients in drafting legally sound wills, ensuring that their assets are distributed according to their wishes. We also handle probate matters, ensuring that the terms of the will are executed correctly.

• Succession Disputes: We represent clients in inheritance disputes, including challenges to the validity of wills, disputes among heirs, and claims of undue influence or fraud.
