Mutual Consent Divorce
Mutual Consent Divorce is a legally recognized and amicable way for spouses to dissolve their marriage when both parties agree that the relationship has irretrievably broken down. This provision is available under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, and also under Section 28 of the Special Marriage Act, 1954, which governs interfaith or civil marriages.
In both cases, the mutual consent of the husband and wife is essential, without any coercion, fraud, or undue influence. The process involves filing a joint petition before the Family Court, wherein both parties agree on all key issues such as alimony, child custody, and property settlement. After filing the first motion, the court may grant a waiver of the cooling-off period, allowing the entire divorce process to be completed in as little as 30 days, depending on the facts of the case and court discretion. The second motion confirms continued mutual consent, after which the court passes a decree of divorce. The petition can be filed in the Family Court where the marriage was solemnized, where the couple last resided together, or where the wife is currently residing.
Adv. Amol Khobragade, a family lawyer with over a decade of experience, has successfully handled more than 850 mutual consent divorce cases specifically in Pune and across Maharashtra.

Contested Divorce
A contested divorce in India happens when one spouse wants to end the marriage but the other doesn't agree, and the reasons for divorce are set by laws like the Hindu Marriage Act (for Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists) or the Special Marriage Act (for inter-faith or civil marriages), covering issues like cheating, cruelty, abandonment, or severe mental illness.

Restitution of Conjugal Rights
If your spouse has left you without a good reason, and you want them to come back and live with you, there's a legal step you can take called Restitution of Conjugal Rights. Both the Hindu Marriage Act and the Special Marriage Act allow you to ask the court to order your spouse to return. The main idea behind this is to try and save the marriage and get you both living together again. If, even after the court order, your spouse still doesn't come back for a year or more, then you can use that as a reason to get a divorce.Adv. Amol Khobragade is really good at handling these kinds of cases. He understands all the rules and can help you if you're dealing with divorce, want to get your spouse to come back, or need help with child custody. He makes sure your rights are protected and tries to find a fair solution for everyone involved.
Imagine marriage as a partnership where both husband and wife are expected to live together and support each other. Restitution of Conjugal Rights is basically a legal way to ask a court to tell your spouse to come back and live with you if they've left without a good reason. This is a rule found in laws like the Hindu Marriage Act and the Special Marriage Act.
Now, when it comes to dealing with such situations, Adv. Amol Khobragade is someone who really knows his stuff. He's very skilled at handling cases related to divorce, child custody, and these "restitution of conjugal rights" situations.

Child Custody
child custody matters are determined primarily by the "welfare of the child" principle, meaning the court's paramount consideration is what best serves the child's physical, emotional, and overall well-being, rather than solely the parents' rights. While various personal laws (like the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act or the Guardians and Wards Act) govern different religious communities, the core focus remains on providing a stable and nurturing environment. Navigating these sensitive and often complex cases requires profound legal knowledge and empathetic understanding, which
Adv. Amol Khobragade consistently demonstrates. With extensive experience in family law, including divorce and child custody, he excels at crafting effective legal strategies that prioritize the child's best interests while securing favorable outcomes for his clients.

Maintenance and Alimony
When a marriage ends, figuring out maintenance and alimony (financial support) is crucial. 'Maintenance' typically means ongoing living costs, while 'alimony' can be a one-time payment. Courts decide the amount based on factors like income, assets, and lifestyle during marriage, as per laws like the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (Sections 24 & 25), the Special Marriage Act, 1954 (Section 37), and the Hindu Adoption and Maintenance Act, 1956 (with Section 23 outlining factors for determination). Additionally, Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, ensures basic maintenance across all religions, and the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, offers urgent interim orders via Section 23. For Muslim women, the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986, also defines their post-divorce financial rights. Navigating these complex financial laws can be challenging, but Advocate Amol Khobragade is an expert in this field, dedicated to meticulously assessing financial situations and advocating for fair and equitable settlements.
Judicial Separation
Judicial separation in India allows couples to live apart while remaining legally married, offering a chance for reconciliation or a step towards divorce. It is available under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (Section 10, with grounds similar to divorce under Section 13) and the Special Marriage Act, 1954 (Section 23, with grounds similar to divorce under Section 27). This means spouses can separate for reasons such as cruelty, adultery, or desertion, but cannot remarry unless a full divorce is subsequently granted, often if they do not reunite for a year after the separation decree. To navigate these sensitive legal steps and understand their implications, Advocate Amol Khobragade is an expert in family law, providing comprehensive analysis, meticulous petition drafting, and strategic representation to guide clients towards the best possible outcome for their future.
Section 85 of BNS
Section 85 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) addresses cruelty by a husband or his relatives towards a woman, directly replacing the erstwhile IPC Section 498A. This critical provision punishes both physical and mental cruelty, specifically including acts of dowry harassment, with a potential imprisonment of up to three years and a fine. It's important to note that this is a non-bailable, cognizable, and non-compoundable offense, making it a robust legal shield for women facing domestic abuse. Adv. Amol Khobragade, a prominent lawyer practicing in Pune, Maharashtra, specializes extensively in family law and complex matrimonial cases. His expertise frequently involves navigating the intricate details of issues covered by Section 85 BNS, where he is recognized for his in-depth legal knowledge and strategic representation in such sensitive matters.
Section 498A of IPC
Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) is a crucial legal provision designed to safeguard married women from the pervasive issue of domestic violence and harassment inflicted by their husbands or the husband's relatives. This particular section primarily targets acts of cruelty, often stemming from dowry demands or other forms of mental or physical abuse within the marital home.In the context of legal representation for such cases, Adv. Amol Khobragade, a practicing lawyer in Pune, is known for his specialization in divorce and family law. His practice naturally encompasses cases falling under Section 498A of the IPC, given its direct relevance to marital disputes and domestic issues.
