Legal information
General information for the public. It is not legal advice for any particular case.
Where is a divorce petition filed in Salem?
Section 19 of the Hindu Marriage Act decides this. The petition can be filed where the marriage took place. It can be filed where the couple last lived together. If the wife is the petitioner it can be filed where she lives on the date of filing. Family Court Salem hears cases within its territorial limits.
What is a mutual consent divorce?
It is a joint petition under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. Both spouses must say they have lived apart for at least one year. They must also say they cannot live together. The second motion is ordinarily taken after six months. The court may waive that period in suitable cases.
Can maintenance be claimed during a divorce case?
Yes. Interim maintenance and litigation expenses can be sought under Section 24 of the Hindu Marriage Act while the case is pending. Maintenance can also be sought under Section 144 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. That section replaced Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
Can a co-owner seek partition of family property?
A co-owner or coparcener can file a suit for partition and separate possession in the civil court within whose limits the property is situated. The shares claimed depend on how the property was acquired and on the personal law that applies.
Can an NRI pursue a property or family case in Tamil Nadu from abroad?
An NRI can instruct an advocate remotely. A Special Power of Attorney can authorise a representative in India to act in property matters. With the court's permission a party may also appear by video conferencing. The documents must be properly executed and attested for use in India.
