1) File Mutual Consent petition

2) Yes through family court

3) Every advocate has different format. But do mention any amount of maintenace you are giving to wife. Also if possible give maintenance in 2 parts ie on 1st motion and on 2nd motion.

4) Juridiction is where the husband and wife both reside last.

1. once u file for divorce by mutual consent divorce will be granted after 6 months from filing of the petition.

2. yes family court is the only court where a divorce petition has to be filed.

3. there is no "format" for such petition but do mention the relevant facts such as where and when u got married. where did u reside after marriage. whether u have any marriage certificate. details of kids if any. since when u have been living separately. where did u reside last with ur spouse. whether ur spouse is working and financially independent.

4.jurisdiction- where u resided last with ur spouse or where u got married

@Anand

You file a MCD petition in family court ie your case get registered. Pay rs 50 as bribe to clerk for 1st motion date if you want the nearest possible date. It can be any date after case get registered. That date is 1st motion ie Judge will ask both of you whether you want to go with MCD or not. You both ie HUsband and wife will say yes in front of judge. After that judge will give you 6months for reconciliation ie judge will give another date after 6months. This is the 2nd motion date in which both parties have to appear and again Judge will ask both of you whether you want to go with MCD or not. If both of you say yes, than thats it. You will get divorce decree after few days. ie Judge will keep another date for his decision writing. After decision is written you will get divorce decree with in 2-3 days.

Dear Anand,

Better to hire any local advocate in District court or in Family court or send us your details.

You have to appear two to three times in court and court will grant you divorce. at first instance you made mutual divorce agreement and then file petition.

Good luck.
