Family & Personal Law Services
Family lawyers in India — divorce and mutual-consent divorce, custody, maintenance, domestic violence, family disputes and NRI divorce by verified advocates.
Family & Personal Law matters are among the most personal a person faces — the end of a marriage, the care of children, financial support, safety at home and disputes within the family. WCP's verified family-law advocates explain the options under the personal law that applies — Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Parsi or the Special Marriage Act — and guide clients through negotiation, mediation and the Family Courts.
What is covered:
- Divorce, mutual-consent divorce and child custody
- Maintenance and alimony
- Protection from domestic violence and harassment
- Family property and partition disputes
- Divorce assistance for NRIs
- Medical negligence claims
Where safety is at risk, urgent protection orders can be sought immediately; other matters often settle faster through mediation.

Frequently asked questions
- How long does a mutual-consent divorce take?
- Under the Hindu Marriage Act there is a six-month cooling-off period after the first motion, which courts can waive in suitable cases; many mutual divorces conclude in about six to eighteen months.
- Who gets custody of children?
- Courts decide in the child's best interests; custody can be sole or joint, with visitation for the other parent.
- Can a wife claim maintenance?
- Yes — under Section 144 of the BNSS (formerly Section 125 CrPC), personal laws such as Section 24 and 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, and the Domestic Violence Act.
- What protection does the Domestic Violence Act give?
- Protection orders, residence orders, monetary relief, custody orders and compensation, through the Magistrate, with interim relief possible quickly.
- Can a foreign divorce decree be recognised in India?
- Only if it meets the conditions of Section 13 of the Code of Civil Procedure; decrees on grounds unknown to Indian law, or obtained without proper participation, may not be recognised.
- Is mediation used in family disputes?
- Yes. Family Courts routinely refer matters to mediation and counselling before adjudication.
