1. It is mandatory period.
2. Yes
3. If it is filed in Family Court at Bankshall then it would take not less than 1 year. If t is filed any other court like Alipore or Sealdah then it should taken six month only.
So check with your advocate where it is filed.
The family Court at Bankshall Court takes lot of time due to various formalities.
