1. Let me know the the eligibility criteria to file a petition in family court directly without a Lawyer.

2. Let me know the duration of process for obtaining mutual consent divorce.

Thanks to all

No need any lawyer for family courts. But the parties have to submit mutual divorce petitions and prepare chief affidavits etc. You may be needed a lawyer for getting done documentations done.The both parties can approach directly to the family court and submit.

You need not hire a lawyer for mutual consent divorce - you can directly approach the family court. The court procedures are long drawn and not all know the procedures of the court - hence they hire a lawyer.

1. There is no eligibility criteria for mutual consent divorce - you must agree on the terms

2. It could take more than 6 months to an year.
