Answer:
It depends on whether you are filing for a contested divorce or mutual consent divorce in India.
You will need a lawyer even if both you and your spouse mutually agree to get divorced. Issues like division of assets, child custody and alimony need to be clearly stated. In uncontested divorce cases, it is still important to hire a lawyer who will draft the settlement agreement. The lawyer will make sure that all documents filed in family court are legally compliant and your rights are protected.
When spouses don't agree on child custody, alimony or division of property, they need to hire lawyers and file for contested divorce. During contested divorce proceedings, you will need to collect evidence, respond to petitions filed by your spouse, negotiate settlement terms and appear in Family Court for hearings. Family lawyers understand Indian family laws which will help you safeguard your rights during negotiations and divorce hearings.
