Start with your situation
Mutual consent or
contested divorce?
Agreement between spouses changes the work involved. The first review considers consent, the applicable marriage law, settlement issues and any existing proceedings.
When both spouses agree
Mutual consent divorce
Suitable to explore when both spouses want a divorce and can agree on the arrangements needed to separate.
- Record settlement payments and when they become due.
- Agree child care, contact and education expenses.
- Address belongings, stridhan and connected cases.
- Prepare the joint petition and required court statements.
When consent or issues are disputed
Contested divorce
Relevant when one spouse seeks divorce and the other does not agree, or when a petition needs to be defended.
- Assess the legal ground and supporting evidence.
- Prepare the petition, reply or appropriate application.
- Consider interim support and child arrangements.
- Prepare for evidence, hearings and settlement discussions.
Which law applies? The marriage’s legal basis determines the divorce provisions. The Hindu Marriage Act and Special Marriage Act have different provisions; other personal laws may apply. A marriage certificate and ceremony details help establish the starting point.
For a contested Hindu Marriage Act case, grounds can include cruelty or legally established desertion. The advocate must connect the facts to the applicable legal test before drafting allegations.

Common questions
Questions about

Answers to practical questions about choosing a divorce lawyer in Gurgaon and beginning a consultation.
Discuss your circumstancesHow do I choose a divorce lawyer in Gurgaon?
Discuss the advocate’s relevant practice, who will handle the work, the court involved and how updates and fees will be managed. Explain whether the case concerns mutual consent, a disputed petition, children or financial support. A useful consultation should leave you with a clear next step and an explanation of the work proposed.
Can I consult a female divorce lawyer in Gurgaon?
Yes. You can request a consultation with Advocate Sunita Tiwari, an independent practising advocate in Gurugram. Start by calling or messaging 87960 21579 and briefly describe the issue and any urgent date.
Is the initial divorce consultation free?
The initial consultation about your issue, urgency and documents is free. Detailed legal advice, document review, drafting, filing and representation are separate services. The proposed scope and professional fee are discussed before you decide to proceed.
What if my spouse refuses to agree to divorce?
A lawyer can assess whether the facts support a contested petition under the applicable law. Bring a chronology and relevant documents, including any existing proceedings. The review can also consider whether settlement discussions are feasible.
How much will the divorce case cost?
The quotation depends on the work required and the stage of the case. Ask whether it covers preparation, filing, appearances and connected applications, and which expenses are additional. For a mutual-consent matter, clarify whether both motions and any waiver application are included.
What should I do if I have received a divorce petition?
Keep the complete petition, summons and attachments, note the date of receipt and the next court date, and arrange a review promptly. Include any previous orders or connected cases so the advocate can assess the response required.
Can I begin online if I am outside Gurgaon or India?
An initial discussion and document review can begin online. Tell the advocate where both spouses live, where the marriage took place and whether there are proceedings in India or abroad. Filing jurisdiction, service and any request about attendance must be assessed for the particular case.
Can custody and maintenance be discussed in the same consultation?
Yes. Bring details of the child’s care and expenses, available financial records and any existing orders. The consultation can identify the issues to address and whether separate applications or proceedings are required.
