Every personal law
Alimony & Maintenance
Interim maintenance under Section 24 HMA and Section 144 BNSS, permanent alimony, and enforcement when an order is simply ignored.
How We Run It
What instructing us looks like
Every matter differs. These are the steps this practice takes as a matter of course, before anything is filed.
The first question is always which law applies — a petition filed under the wrong Act is time lost, not merely a technicality.
Mutual consent settled in writing before it is filed, so the six-month period runs while the terms hold rather than while they are argued.
Maintenance and custody dealt with together, because in practice they are decided together.

Divorce, judicial separation, restitution and nullity for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs under the 1955 Act.
