Divorce & Separation Services for NRIs

Navigating divorce or separation in India while living abroad can be emotionally draining and legally challenging. Differences in procedure, documentation, timelines, and the requirement for court appearances often make the process even more complex for NRIs. SolvLegal provides dedicated legal support to NRIs seeking divorce or separation assistance in India whether through mutual consent or contested proceedings.

Our team helps you manage the entire legal process with dignity, clarity, and efficiency, ensuring your rights are protected even when you cannot be physically present.

1. Mutual Consent Divorce (Fast-Track for NRIs)

A mutual consent divorce is the most peaceful and swift way for couples to legally end their marriage. For NRIs, the process can be streamlined through video conferencing, power of attorney, and minimized court appearances.

Our services include:

• Drafting joint petitions, settlement terms, and affidavits
• Assistance with child custody, visitation rights, and financial arrangements
• Coordinating virtual appearances where permitted by the court
• Ensuring compliance with jurisdictional rules for NRI-specific cases
• Managing both phases of the mutual consent process to avoid delays

We make the process stress-free and efficient so both parties can move forward smoothly.

2. Contested Divorce Litigation (in India)

When a divorce cannot be resolved amicably, contested divorce proceedings may become necessary. These cases often involve allegations, evidence, witness examination, and multiple court hearings making local representation essential.

We assist with:

• Filing and defending divorce cases on grounds such as cruelty, desertion, adultery, etc.
• Gathering and presenting evidence in court
• Representing you before the appropriate family court in India
• Handling interim applications, maintenance requests, and injunctions
• Managing all documentation and coordinating with court authorities

Our experienced family law advocates handle the litigation end-to-end, allowing you to stay informed without being physically present at every hearing.

3. Alimony & Maintenance Claims

Financial rights are a crucial part of any separation. NRIs often face uncertainty regarding maintenance obligations, entitlement to alimony, or child support claims.

SolvLegal offers support for:

• Filing for alimony, permanent maintenance, or monthly support
• Defending against unreasonable financial claims
• Calculating fair support based on income, living expenses, and legal standards
