Power of attorney during divorce

For a mutual consent divorce to finalise both the parties have to be present in the court themselves on both hearings/motions. It cannot be done through an SPA/GPA as these facts are within the personal knowledge of person seeking divorce only.

Dear Hemanth,

In divorce matters no third person other than the spouces in conflict can settle issues.

Yes, you can go for mediation/conciliation outside court, if both agree for mediation or conciliation process. yes you need to be present but decision will be fast in 3 or 4 sittings and once done you or both of you file the settlement in family court at Bandra if you are a mumbaite or relevant jurisdictional court of you residence in india as it appears you are both from india.

4 sittings can be completed in a month's time,as your issue seems a consent divorce as both want to seperate mutually on agreed terms.

so adopt mutual consent for mediation and for which both need to present your application at the family court where you have your case filed.

yes your advocate will help you to move the application.

in a recent case of divorce by mutual consent, the apex court granted the divorce within 4 months without waiting for mandatory six months waiting . you can request the court for expediting the process but the presence of both the parties is required in the court.

Thank you all. This interaction gave me more clarity. 

Thanks Again,

Hemanth
