The minimum time taken for mutual divorce is 6 months from the date of filing. There is no specific Act to deal with the name or surname of the child. The mother can rename the child or change the surname of the child after the divorce if only the father does not object. If he objects then she can npt unilaterally do so.

Act will depend on the religion of the parties. There is no bar to the user of the mother's maiden name.

If father is not claiming any right over the child then the mother can do as per her wish.Otherwise fathers consent is necessary.
