Settlement should be complete, not merely quick.
Mutual consent divorce requires agreement on dissolution and, where relevant, clear settlement of alimony, stridhan, custody, visitation, pending proceedings and reciprocal obligations. The statutory route depends upon the law governing the marriage.
Key settlement subjects
- Financial settlement and payment schedule.
- Stridhan and personal articles.
- Child custody, visitation and expenses.
- Connected proceedings and lawful steps for their disposal.
