For people staying in US, how long did it take for you to get divorce in India? TC: $215k #mentalhealth #divorce
I have had a friend who divorced. The divorce was long and painful one. The friend's ex wanted to cause sadistic pain and enjoy that's all.
That's a common occurrence in any divorce.
really? What percentage are peaceful divorce?
If it's a mutual divorce petition and claims that you've been separated for more than 1.5 years, the court usually waives the 6 months cool off period etc. You just need to be there for the hearing or else give a power of attorney to a close relative to represent and identify you in person while you can join via Google Meet. My ex delayed signing the joint petition but once done and it was filed, I got the divorce in 1-2 months.
Get a non contested divorce done in USA first though. That would ensure that the spouse cannot make any new claims in India to delay things.
Sorry about your situation OP. DM me if you want to talk. There are many nuances here. I have gone through the divorce process in India but I stay in India. However, I have learnt a thing or two about the whole process from the POV of Indian judicial system.
My cousin went through a 7 yr divorce hell ! Dragging whole family causing severe depression the laws are severely one sided may be for a reason but sometimes it’s just so unbearable. Best of luck if it goes to divorce try for mutual and lawyer up!
7 years. Wow. Sorry to hear that.
So the partner who contested was fine living 7 years without getting a divorce. Weird world... I guess the other party was like let me destroy his/her life.
I think your wife has major depression; she needs to see a doctor and get help.
Can't you get divorced in US court as you live here? Why are you asking for India? You get a divorce here, then inform your embassy.
Get your wife help, agree with other comments here regarding depression. Couples therapy to develop strategies to communicate both of your point of views without losing patience at each other. If none of these help, divorce. Relationships aren’t supposed to be hard. Why are you torturing yourself is the main question here.
If u have kids , try to think twice before you go for divorce . Else up to you .. and also as for divorce is concerned, easy to get here in US than in India
No kids.
It's easiest to get divorce in US. In India , all laws are in favour of women. You won't get a fast divorce in India.... Hell, even if your wife wants a mutual divorce, high chances that her lawyer spoils her mind and asks her not to go for mutual, but to demand more money from you, trouble you etc.
Too bad it's this way.
This happens even in US 🤷🏻♂️
What's the issue in your marriage?
Fights between us 3~4 times a week for no reason. My partner makes a big deal out of everything (always perceives things negatively) and gets easily depressed. Spouse is either very angry or depressed and crying. Huge fight happened between our parents as well. All of us uttered non sense which made things worse. Fights even on happy days of our life (such as on the day of buying home, when I got a new job offer, when we go on vacation). I have reached saturation at this point. I have lost confidence in this relationship.
Anybody went through similar situation? Honestly looking for feedback.
