Stages of a Divorce Case
A typical divorce case moves through filing of the petition, service of notice, the respondent's written statement, referral to counselling or mediation, framing of issues, evidence of both sides (including cross-examination), final arguments, and the judgment and decree.
Under the Family Courts Act, 1984, an appeal from a judgment or order of the Family Court generally lies to the High Court within the period of limitation. Interim orders on maintenance or custody can be enforced while the main case continues.
