Mutual Divorce vs. Contested Divorce
A mutual divorce occurs when both spouses agree on the terms of the separation, including division of property, alimony, and custody of children. This type of divorce is generally quicker and less expensive, as both parties are in agreement. According to Adv. Anupama Sharma, mutual divorce cases can be resolved within a few months if all required documents are submitted and the court is satisfied with the terms.
In contrast, a contested divorce happens when the spouses cannot reach an agreement on key issues, such as property division or child custody. In such cases, the matter is taken to court, where each spouse presents their case, and a judge decides the outcome. Adv. Anupama Sharma further explains that contested divorces can be drawn-out and emotionally taxing, as the legal process often involves multiple hearings and complex negotiations.
