LEGAL EXPERTISE
Which Delhi Family Court Will Hear Your Case
Delhi has six family courts: Saket, Rohini, Dwarka, Tis Hazari, Patiala House and Karkardooma. Which one hears your matter depends on where you married, where you and your spouse last lived together, or where your spouse currently resides, and filing in the wrong one usually just adds months to a case that didn't need them.
We confirm jurisdiction before filing anything, and represent clients across all six courts, so wherever your matter lands, you're working with a lawyer who already knows that courtroom, not starting over with someone unfamiliar with it.
WHAT WE DO
Matrimonial Lawyer in Delhi: Legal Services for Divorce, Alimony, Custody and Matrimonial Cases
Every matrimonial case is different depending on what you actually want: to separate amicably, to contest a false claim, to secure your child's future, or to get to safety. Here's how we handle the situations we see most often.
Mutual Consent Divorce
When both spouses agree to separate, the goal is a clean, legally sound exit, not a prolonged fight. We draft the petition, work out the settlement, custody and maintenance terms together, and represent you at both motions. For the full process and timelines, see our Divorce lawyers in Delhi page.
Contested Divorce
Where one spouse doesn't agree, we build the case on the applicable ground- cruelty, desertion, adultery or mental harassment- and carry it through pleadings, evidence and final arguments.
Alimony and Maintenance
We help clients claim or defend interim and permanent maintenance, working from income, lifestyle and the length of the marriage to argue for a figure that holds up, whether that's through litigation or a negotiated settlement.
Child Custody
Custody disputes are decided on the child's welfare, not on which parent asks louder. We represent mothers, fathers and, in relevant cases, grandparents seeking custody or visitation rights, and we say upfront what a court is and isn't likely to grant in your situation.
Domestic Violence Protection
If you're facing domestic violence, the priority is safety first, paperwork second. We help file a complaint under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, and push for urgent protection orders, residence rights and monetary relief.
Judicial Separation
Judicial separation lets spouses live apart while the marriage stays legally intact, useful where a couple wants distance without committing to divorce. This is a different remedy from restitution of conjugal rights, where one spouse asks the court to direct the other to resume living together; we advise on which, if either, fits your situation.
Dowry and Stridhan Recovery
We help women recover personal property, gifts and Stridhan given at marriage, and file complaints under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 and Section 85 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (which replaced Section 498A IPC). Where a husband or his family is facing such a complaint, we also defend these matters, including applying for Anticipatory bail where arrest is a concern.
Adoption
We guide families through legally compliant Child adoption under the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, and CARA guidelines.
Matrimonial Property Disputes
Where a dispute over the matrimonial home or jointly held property runs alongside your case, our Property lawyers in Delhi team work with us so the two matters don't pull in different directions.
Family Court Representation
We represent clients end to end, from filing through final arguments, across Saket, Rohini, Dwarka, Tis Hazari and Patiala House, keeping communication with you clear and confidential throughout.
OUR EDGE
Why Clients Choose Legals365 for Matrimonial Matters
01
Advocate B.K. Singh personally handles your case,
with 15+ years of practice before the Supreme Court and Delhi's family courts, not a rotating team of juniors.
02
We tell you the hard truths early.
If a claim is weak, or an ex parte order is a real risk because of delay, we say so at the first consultation, not after you've already lost ground.
03
We argue for a number you can defend.
Maintenance and alimony figures are built from your actual income, lifestyle and the length of the marriage, not a rough guess.
04
Confidentiality is treated as non-negotiable,
given how personal these matters are; your case details stay between you and your legal team.
05
We settle where settlement serves you,
and litigate where it doesn't. We don't push a case toward trial just to keep the file open.
OUR PROCESS
How We Handle a Matrimonial Case in Delhi

Step 1: Case Discussion and Legal Strategy
In your first free consultation, we go through your marriage history, the current dispute, any urgent safety concerns, and your children's situation, then map out a legal strategy around what you actually want from the case.
2
Step 2: Drafting and Documentation
We prepare and review legal notices, petitions, replies and written statements, built to hold up under scrutiny, not just to meet a filing deadline.
3
Step 3: Representation and Negotiation
We appear personally at every hearing, file in the correct court, handle interim applications, and guide you through evidence to final argument, while continuing to explore a fair settlement outside court wherever that's realistic.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
How exactly can you help with my marriage dispute?
It depends what stage you're at. If nothing's been filed yet, we start with strategy, what you're entitled to, what a realistic outcome looks like, and how to protect your position. If a notice or petition is already in play, we move straight to drafting a response and getting you into the right court quickly.
Who's actually best matrimonial lawyer in Delhi for my kind of case?
Honestly, it depends on the case, but what you should look for is someone who's in family court regularly, not occasionally, and who'll tell you plainly what's likely to happen rather than what you want to hear. Advocate B.K. Singh has handled matrimonial matters for [XX]+ years and takes every case personally rather than handing it to a junior.
How long is this actually going to take?
A mutual consent divorce can often wrap up in under a year if both sides cooperate. A contested divorce or a custody fight takes longer, sometimes years, depending on the evidence and how crowded the court's schedule is. We'll give you a realistic estimate once we know your specifics, not a generic number.
Do I really have to go to court, or can this be settled quietly?
A lot of matrimonial disputes do settle outside court, and it's usually faster, cheaper and less damaging for everyone, especially where children are involved. We'll always explore that route first, but we won't push you toward a settlement that shortchanges you just to close the file quickly.
What happens if I just... wait a bit before getting a lawyer?
Waiting is the thing we'd advise against most. If your spouse files first and you haven't responded, you risk an ex parte order, meaning the court decides without hearing your side. Every week of delay also makes maintenance harder to recover retroactively.
I need to talk about alimony or maintenance, is that something you handle separately?
Yes, and it's one of the most common calls we get. Reach out as soon as there's a dispute about money during or after separation, we'll look at your situation and tell you early what's realistic to ask for or expect to pay, so you're not caught off guard later.
