Overview

What this covers

Family disputes are rarely just legal — they are personal, urgent and deeply felt. Our family-law counsel handles marriage and matrimonial disputes, child custody and guardianship, maintenance, adoption, and succession and inheritance matters across India.

We advise on the Hindu Marriage Act, the Special Marriage Act, the Guardians and Wards Act and personal-law regimes, and we appear before family courts, district courts and the High Court. Wherever possible we steer matters toward dignified settlement; where contest is unavoidable, we litigate firmly and fast.

Questions

Common questions about family law

Can a family dispute be settled without going to court?

Often, yes. Mutual-consent divorce, mediated custody arrangements and family settlements can resolve matters without a contested trial. We always explore settlement first.

How is child custody decided in India?

Courts decide custody on the paramount principle of the “welfare of the child”, considering age, the child’s preference (where mature), and each parent’s capacity to provide a stable environment.
