My husband isn’t contributing to the family and I’m considering divorce. What are the steps involved, how can I ensure my children’s future, and what’s the typical timeframe for getting a divorce in India?

You can file for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act or the Special Marriage Act based on your circumstances. To ensure your children’s future, you can seek maintenance and custody rights in court. The timeframe for divorce varies depending on the case complexity and court proceedings, typically taking several months to a few years.
