I want to separate from my husband peacefully, without a long and difficult court case. We have a daughter, and I want him to provide for her financially, as well as pay alimony. Is there a simple and quick way to get a divorce in India?

Unfortunately, there is no “simple and quick” way to get a divorce in India, especially if you have a child and require alimony. Even in cases of mutual consent, the process requires legal representation, court appearances, and a cooling-off period of six months. You and your husband will need to reach a mutual agreement regarding your daughter’s custody, alimony, and property division, which will be formalized in court.
