How long does mutual divorce order take after counselling agreement?
We have the final meeting with the counsellor this week. After the counsellor states that we have mutually agreed to a mutual divorce, how long will it take for the order to be passed?
Dear client, after the counsellor confirms mutual agreement, the divorce order may take a few weeks to a few months, depending on the court and whether the cooling of period is waived off or not. May this help and you have any further issues do not hesitate to contact us.
Dear client, after counselling and mutual agreement, the time for a mutual divorce order depends on the court and a case stage. Usually it may take a few weeks to a few months after the final hearing of the case. And in some cases, courts may waive the six-month cooling period also. I hope this answer your query, for further queries contact us.
Once the counsellor records that both parties have mutually agreed for divorce, the case proceeds under mutual consent divorce provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (Section 13B). After the final statement, the court usually records the second motion and passes the decree. Legally, a mandatory cooling-off period of 6 months may apply, but the court can waive it in suitable cases. After completion of formalities, the final divorce order is generally granted within a few weeks to a few months depending on court workload.
