How does a divorce petition look like?

Introduction of Divorce Petition.

Divorce is the right way to solve problems when the problems between married husband and wife continue to become a big problem, but if there are children then the future welfare of those children should be taken into consideration in divorce cases.

If not there is a high chance of children’s mental health being affected later in life and a divorce petition may be chosen as an end to the problem between husband and wife.

How many types of divorce case?

There are two types of divorce proceedings in India, one is a contested case and the other is a mutual case.

What should be considered for filing divorce case?

If we are going to file a divorce case then it should contain valid grounds for divorce. The divorce petition should also clearly state what solution is required based on that reason.

Only when a petitioner has a clear cause and solution can the next procedure be implemented in a divorce case unless proper solution is taken then the case will not go on the right track.

Is it possible to divorce without reason?

Divorce cannot be done without cause because to separate someone there must have been some reason and the categories for that reason are clearly stated in the Indian Divorce Act and divorce can be obtained only on that basis.

Soon after the  marriage itself the respondent insisted the petitioner to get additional dowry from her parents, since it was a love marriage the petitioner had not ask any dowry from  her parents. After 20 days of the marriage the petitioner came to know that the  respondent is a drug addict and also having drinking, smoking and chewing tobacco  habits. The respondent used to inject pain relief medicine named Spxxxxx Pxxxxx as drug.

But after the recovery from the treatment the respondent started continuing  his routine habits and further he borrowed money from some money lenders for  interest and had not repaid the money to them, the money lenders used to come to  the matrimonial house and make noise against the respondent as well as the  petitioner to return the money. The respondent spend the borrowed money lavishly  for his drug use only, he has not spend the even a single rupee for the petitioner or  his child. When it was questioned by the petitioner, the petitioner was treated with  physical violence by causing injury, which drive the petitioner to commit suicide  many times, but for the wellness of her child she bearded all the atrocities of the  respondent, the petitioner rolled out two years life with disappointment, frustration  and deep anguish, the respondent has not changed his behavior, the respondent has  not fulfilled any duties or obligations in the matrimonial life with the petitioner.

5) Due to the continue torture and cruelty the petitioner felt that  continuing the life with the respondent will cause danger to the life and limb of the  petitioner. So the petitioner on 12.12.2017 walked out to her parents house to live a  safety life with her son, but the respondent often came in front of petitioner’s 

parents house in a drunken mood abusing the petitioner’s character by saying  “immoral women” in the public and threatening her parents. The petitioner beared all the pains given by the respondent for the welfare of his 5 years child, the  petitioner is now under the care and concern of her parents.

Divorce cases are filed in courts as I have written above.

There are many reasons for divorce in this case. They are the husband being addicted to drugs, the husband not taking proper care of his wife, not taking care of the child.

Can divorce be granted immediately if there are valid reasons?

Regardless of the reasons, judgments will not be passed without proper investigation, if a case is filed it will be heard and then judgment will be given.

Conclusion.

If the divorce case is in a practice that can be completed quickly, the mutual matter ends quickly because in this case, the petitioner and the respondent come to a conclusion, so it does not require a trial, but in contested divorce cases, both parties have to conduct a trial, thus there are delays, even if the reasons are stated correctly and it is proved in the trial, those cases will be completed quickly. The sample petition I have given above will definitely be useful for you to understand this divorce case.
