Courts in Delhi take non-compliance of maintenance orders very seriously. Advocate Sushant Tripathi handles maintenance enforcement and execution cases at Dwarka Family Court, Saket Court, and Delhi High Court, and ensures that a court order in your favour is not just a piece of paper but is fully enforced to provide you the financial relief you legally deserve.

Simultaneously you can pursue a consumer complaint before the Consumer Forum or National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) for deficiency of service and mental harassment.

This is one of the most commonly asked questions in matrimonial law. Under current Indian law, a wife does not have an automatic legal right to a share in her husband’s self-acquired property simply by virtue of marriage or divorce. However, she is strongly entitled to permanent alimony, maintenance, return of stridhan, and her share in any jointly acquired matrimonial assets. Additionally, she has the right to reside in the matrimonial home under the Domestic Violence Act even if it is in the husband’s name. The Supreme Court of India has in recent judgements also directed courts to consider the wife’s contribution to the household and family while deciding alimony and settlement amounts. Every case is different and the outcome depends heavily on facts, income, assets, and duration of marriage. Advocate Sushant Tripathi provides detailed and honest legal advice on matrimonial property rights in Delhi so you fully understand what you are entitled to before proceeding.

What is the difference between mutual consent divorce and contested divorce in Delhi?
A. A mutual consent divorce under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act is filed when both husband and wife mutually agree to end the marriage. It is faster, less expensive, and involves two court appearances with a mandatory 6-month waiting period (which can be waived by the court). A contested divorce, on the other hand, is filed by one spouse on specific legal grounds such as cruelty, desertion, adultery, or irretrievable breakdown. It involves a full trial, examination of witnesses, documentary evidence, and can take considerably longer. Advocate Sushant Tripathi handles both types of divorce cases in Delhi and advises clients on which route best suits their specific situation, timeline, and legal goals.
