Answer:
You should consult a divorce lawyer in Delhi at the point a matrimonial issue starts to have an impact on your legal, financial or parental rights. It is not necessary to wait until the situation becomes adversarial or a petition for divorce is filed. Timely legal guidance will assist you to consider your options and to take a well thought out approach before critical decisions are taken.
A lawyer should be consulted at an early stage if you are thinking of separation, mutual consent divorce or contested divorce, or if you are experiencing cruelty, desertion, domestic violence, dowry allegations, maintenance claims, child custody disputes, visitation issues or disagreements over matrimonial property and residence. Legal advice should be sought where your spouse sends a legal notice, files a case in court, refuses to negotiate a settlement, threatens criminal proceedings or continually postpones an ongoing matrimonial case.
Where there are children, seeking early advice can help in protecting custody, visitation and financial support. In like manner, where there may be an issue of maintenance or alimony, it is best to keep proper records of income, expenditure, bank accounts and household management from the outset and before proceedings become complex.
BK Singh is a divorce lawyer who practices in Delhi/NCR courts and is an experienced professional for divorce cases and matrimonial disputes.
