Adv Sanjay Kumar- ASK Law Xperts

Personal appearance before the Family Court is mandatory in matrimonial matters, particularly in mutual consent divorce where both parties must appear for first and second motions. In contested matters, appearance can sometimes be excused through counsel on procedural dates, but evidence must be given personally.

The minimum statutory cooling period is 6 months from the first motion date. In practice, mutual consent divorce in Delhi Family Courts typically proceeds over 8 to 14 months from filing to decree, though waivers may apply under specific Supreme Court guidelines.

The firm appears before all Delhi District Courts including Rohini, Tis Hazari, Karkardooma, Saket, and Dwarka, as well as the Delhi High Court, Consumer Commission, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, and Arbitral Tribunals.
