Divorce Law
A divorce is more than just a legal proceeding—it’s a life transition that affects your finances, children, and emotional well‑being. Advocate Indranil Chakraborty provides sensitive, strategic counsel to help you navigate each step with clarity and confidence.
Initial Consultation & Strategy
• Case Evaluation: We begin with a thorough consultation to understand your goals—mutual consent settlement, contested proceedings, or even alimony negotiations.
• Tailored Roadmap: Based on your unique circumstances (assets, children, spousal support), we map out a step‑by‑step plan, identifying potential flashpoints and preemptive measures.
Mutual Consent & Contested Divorce
• Mutual Consent Petitions: For couples in agreement, we draft precise, court‑ready petitions under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act (or equivalent under other personal laws). We handle affidavits on reconciliation attempts, waiting‑period waivers, and coordinate with the other spouse’s counsel.
• Contested Proceedings: Where disputes exist—custody battles, hidden assets, or contested grounds—we build your case on legally recognized grounds (cruelty, desertion, adultery, mental illness). Advocate Chakraborty files evidence applications, cross‑examines witnesses, and skillfully advances your arguments before the Family Court.
Child Custody & Maintenance
• Best Interests of the Child: We help you draft and present a parenting plan that safeguards your child’s welfare—visitation schedules, schooling, medical care, and holiday arrangements.
• Spousal & Child Support: Calculating fair maintenance involves income disclosures, lifestyle assessments, and living‑standard analyses. We prepare detailed financial affidavits and negotiate or litigate maintenance orders under Section 24 of the HMA.
Domestic Violence & Protection Orders
• Immediate Protection: For victims of domestic abuse, we file petitions under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, securing interim relief—residence orders, protection orders, monetary relief—within days.
• Long‑Term Relief: We guide you through magistrate‐court hearings, gather medical and police evidence, and press for financial compensation and custody modifications as needed.
Property & Asset Division
• Equitable Distribution: Dividing matrimonial assets requires a forensic approach—identifying shared property, hidden bank accounts, business valuations, and investments. We commission valuations and negotiate or litigate a fair settlement.
Advocate Chakraborty combines legal expertise with empathy, ensuring your divorce process is as smooth, dignified, and outcome‐focused as possible.
