Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law
Grounds for divorce vary by personal laws but generally include adultery, cruelty, desertion, conversion, mental disorder, venereal disease, renunciation, and presumption of death. Mutual consent is also a ground under most personal laws after a separation period.
Indian courts determine custody based on the child’s welfare as the paramount consideration. Factors include the child’s age, parental capability, emotional bonds, stability of home environment, and sometimes the child’s preference if they’re old enough to express it.
Courts consider multiple factors including the income of both parties, standard of living during marriage, recipient’s needs and expenses, age and employment potential of parties, and number of dependents when determining maintenance amounts.
