Second motion: divorce by mututal consent

Why you wait for second motion to be done in the month of Feb. 2018, move application for condonation of 6 months waiting period in the Family Court and get the second motion done now only. The application for condonation of 6 months period can be allowed by the Presiding Officer of the Family Court if you have sufficient ground for the same, like getting married at earliest or moving out of country for long period of time. A compromise between both parties for divorce must be there so place that also with the application. This application can be made along with petition for second motion.The Supreme Court judgement in this regard I had uploaded here in this forum:

Thank you for replying. I had thought about condonation however not proceeding with the same because my wife possesses a very wavering mindset. I am not sure how will she react to this option as a result of which I am playing a little safe and waiting for 6 months period to pass.

My biggest worry is that what if she refuses to sign the final statement or doesn't even show up on the prescribed date? Would that mean I will be left in lurch and on mercy of hers?

In Delhi the divorce by mutual consent is done in two motions and for each motion a fresh petition is jointly presented by both parties. If your wife is not coming forward for presenting petition for second motion in the month of Feb. 2018 than you can still wait for another year as you get 18 months period for filling petition for second motion, she may come forward at that time and agree for second motion.

If you paid money already and she did not appear on second motion, then your money is gone.  You have only option to file regular divorce petition in family court at tis hasari.  Trying to claim money is futile exercise, but eveyrthing depends on your lawyers approach towards the case.
