Divorce Litigation & Resolution
Navigating the dissolution of a marriage requires an advocate who combines deep legal expertise with emotional discretion. Advocate Ashish Jain represents clients in both contested and mutual consent divorce proceedings before Family Courts in Delhi NCR and the Delhi High Court.
Whether prosecuting a petition on statutory grounds of cruelty, desertion, or adultery under the Hindu Marriage Act or Special Marriage Act, or defending against ungrounded divorce claims, our chamber provides strategic trial advocacy.
We ensure that all allied matters—including interim maintenance under Section 24 HMA, permanent alimony, division of matrimonial assets, and child custody—are resolved concurrently to protect your long-term legal and financial well-being.
Divorce litigation can involve far more than the dissolution of marriage, particularly where maintenance, alimony, child custody, matrimonial property, and related disputes arise. Advocate Ashish Jain provides comprehensive legal representation for clients seeking divorce in Delhi, with careful attention to both immediate proceedings and long-term legal interests.
Our practice handles contested divorce, mutual consent divorce, matrimonial disputes, maintenance proceedings, custody matters, and settlement negotiations before Family Courts across Delhi NCR and the Delhi High Court.
