Cooling off period in divorce

A Hindu married couple may not need to wait six months for a separation order in case of mutual consent and the marriage can be legally terminated in just a week as the Supreme Court on September 12, 2017, held that the "cooling off" period is not mandatory and can be waived off.
However it doesnt exists on ground level as the Mediation centre experts in High Court have different opinion and the Lawyers practising there too.
In my case both parties are ready for dissolving marriage, but Lawyers & mediation Centre says it wont be granted before the given date in Nov.But this is hindering my Job as my Company would be sending me abroad for long term and I wont be able to travel back(spending Lakhs of money on round trip to India) just for this Divorce proceeding after paying hefty amount of Streedhan in False Dowry case.Is there any possibility of granting divorce well in advance to Greedy bride or the Honourable Court also listens to plea of groom's side and can give later dates 3-4 months beyond decided date.

If your lawyer is unable to handle this simple issue of getting the 6 months cooling period waived off then chance him get a new one. You bordered of lakhs of rupees looses but not prepared to pay thousands to get best services by competent advocate and seeking free of cost here from experts as if all are your slaves.
