Hi,
My wife and I have been living separately for almost 3 years. I filed for a restitution of conjugal rights within 3 months since she has left me. But she appeared in the court and told that she wants to live with me. But i didn't attend the court. As a result, the case was closed since I filed the Petition. Now she has agreed for a divorce. I have discussed this with a lawyer who says that the contested divorce on desertion ground is the easiest way to get the divorce which will take maximum 3 to 4 months. But if i apply on mutual consent ground which will take more than 6 months. He also has said that if either party doesn't agree after 6 months, the case will go nowhere. I thought that the mutual consent divorce is the easiest way, but the lawyer says differently. What is the best way to get divorce in my situation? If I apply divorce on mutual consent ground, does the court consider my 3 years separation and grant divorce without 6 months waiting period? Please advise.
Regards
Ravi
