Whatever you’re going through, chances are we’ve handled something similar before. Here’s what we cover:
01
Divorce & Separation
We handle two kinds of divorce: mutual consent divorce, where both sides agree, and contested divorce, where they don’t. We also handle judicial separation, living apart without fully ending the marriage, which some couples choose first. As your divorce lawyer, we’ll tell you in plain terms which option fits your situation, and we’ll handle the paperwork and court hearings for you from start to finish.
02
Maintenance & Alimony
Maintenance and alimony both mean money paid from one spouse to the other, either while the case is ongoing (interim) or after it’s decided (permanent). We represent people asking for fair maintenance under the law that covers this (Section 125 CrPC), and we represent people who feel a claim against them is too high. The right number depends on income and lifestyle, so we look at your full picture before suggesting a strategy, rather than promising a figure we can’t guarantee.
03
Child Custody & Visitation
Custody cases are usually the hardest part of a matrimonial dispute, and we understand why. We help parents get custody, share custody, or arrange visitation rights, always focused on what’s best and safest for the child. We prepare everything needed to present your case clearly, without adding more stress to an already difficult situation.
04
Domestic Violence & Matrimonial Proceedings
If you’re dealing with domestic violence, or facing a false accusation under the dowry harassment law (Section 498A), we can help on either side. We handle protection orders, your right to stay in your home, and urgent bail applications quickly, because these situations often can’t wait.
05
Matrimonial Property & Financial Disputes
Divorce often brings up arguments over property, savings, or things that were never put in writing during the marriage. We sort out these property and money disputes alongside your matrimonial case, so they don’t drag on separately in a different court.
06
NRI & Cross-Border Matrimonial Matters
If you or your spouse live outside India, things get more complicated: which country’s court can hear the case, how legal papers reach someone abroad, and whether a foreign divorce is valid in India. We handle NRI cases regularly, including matters where you need to give evidence over video call from another country.
1
Consultation & Case Assessment
We start with a simple conversation, not legal talk. Tell us what’s happened and what outcome you want, and we’ll take it from there.
2
Legal Strategy
Once we understand your situation, we explain your realistic options, including the ones that might be hard to hear. No two cases are the same, so your plan is built around your situation, tailored specifically for you.
3
Negotiation & Mediation
Where possible, we try to settle things through negotiation or mediation first. It’s usually quicker, costs less, and is easier on everyone involved, including any children. We’ll always tell you honestly if this is a realistic option for your case.
4
Filing & Court Representation
When court is unavoidable, we handle the paperwork and appear at every hearing, keeping you updated on what’s happening and what comes next.
Utkarsh Thapar, founder of Thapar Legal, has over a decade of experience and appears in the District and Sessions Courts, the Delhi and Punjab & Haryana High Courts, and the Supreme Court of India. Our divorce and family lawyer team also handles civil and criminal cases, which helps when a matrimonial dispute overlaps with a 498A complaint or a property fight. One team manages everything, instead of you juggling different lawyers.
Here’s what you can expect when you work with us as your matrimonial dispute lawyer:
- We explain things simply. No confusing legal language, just honest answers.
- Your case gets its own strategy, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
- We try negotiation and mediation before going to court.
- Everything you tell us stays private.
- We have offices in Gurgaon, Delhi, Noida, Chandigarh and Mumbai, so help is close by.
Whether you’re looking for a matrimonial dispute lawyer, a divorce lawyer, or a divorce attorney lawyer, these are the questions we’re asked most often.
It’s any legal problem that comes from a marriage: divorce, separation, maintenance, custody, domestic violence, or fights over property.
Most things connected to a marriage breaking down: divorce, maintenance, custody, domestic violence cases, and property disputes. We handle all of these, including cases involving NRIs.
Often, yes. Many cases settle through mediation instead of a full court battle. We always try this first if both sides are willing.
It depends on your case. A mutual consent divorce is usually faster than a contested one, and custody or property disputes can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline once we know the details.
This varies, but usually includes your marriage certificate, proof of income, and any paperwork already filed. We’ll tell you exactly what you need once we understand your case.
It depends on how complex your case is and whether it goes to court. We’ll discuss costs openly during your first conversation, once we know what’s involved.
Yes, generally. Talking to a lawyer first, even just for advice, usually puts you in a stronger position than filing on your own and fixing mistakes later.
