Whether your separation is amicable or contested, the right guidance makes a hard time easier. Advocate Indrajit Dongre represents clients in mutual consent and contested divorce, custody, and maintenance before the Pune Family Court — with over 30 years of experience and complete discretion.
A divorce is one of the most stressful things a person goes through — and the legal process, with its filings, hearings, and waiting periods, can feel overwhelming on top of everything else. As a divorce lawyer in Pune with over three decades of practice before the Family Court, Advocate Indrajit Dongre focuses on making the path clear: what your options are, how long each is likely to take, and what outcome is realistic for your situation.
Every marriage and every separation is different. Some clients arrive having already agreed with their spouse and simply need the divorce processed cleanly and quickly. Others are facing a contested matter with disputes over custody, maintenance, or property, and need firm representation through every hearing. We handle both, along with the related issues — child custody, alimony, domestic violence protection, and the division of assets — that so often come bundled with a divorce.
When both spouses agree to separate, a mutual consent divorce is usually the faster, less expensive, and less adversarial route. It involves a joint petition and two motions before the Family Court, with a statutory cooling-off period in between that the court can waive in suitable cases. We prepare the petition and settlement terms carefully so that custody, maintenance, and asset arrangements are clearly recorded and hold up in the future.
Where one spouse does not agree — or where custody, maintenance, or conduct is in dispute — the divorce proceeds as a contested matter. Here the case is decided on the grounds recognised under the law that applies to your marriage, supported by evidence and testimony. We advise on the appropriate ground, build the evidence, and represent you firmly through interim applications, hearings, and, where needed, appeals.
While every case differs, most divorce matters in Pune move through a recognisable sequence. Understanding it in advance takes away a lot of the anxiety.
Throughout, we keep you informed before each hearing so you always know what is happening and what to expect next — no chasing for updates.
