Best Divorce Lawyer in Rohini Court, Delhi
Divorce, maintenance, custody and domestic violence cases in the family courts at Rohini. We guide you through filing, mediation and every hearing, from our nearby Pitampura office.
Family court cases usually follow a set path — filing, service of summons, reference to mediation or counselling, interim applications such as maintenance, then evidence and arguments if no settlement is reached. Both parties must file affidavits of their assets and income, following Rajnesh v Neha (2020). A mutual consent divorce can be much quicker, especially where the cooling-off period is waived.
What we handle
- Mutual consent and contested divorce petitions
- Interim and permanent maintenance
- Child custody and visitation
- Mediation and settlement at the court's mediation centre
- Domestic Violence Act cases before the Magistrate
- Restitution of conjugal rights and judicial separation

Family cases at Rohini Courts
Matrimonial cases from north and north-west Delhi are often heard at the family courts in the Rohini Court complex. Whether you are filing or have been served, the first step is to understand the path the case will take and what the court will expect of you at each stage. We explain it plainly at the first meeting.
Mediation and settlement
Most family cases are sent to mediation early. A settlement reached there — on divorce, alimony, custody and the withdrawal of other cases — is recorded and placed before the court. We attend mediation with you, advise on each proposal, and make sure the final terms are complete and enforceable.
Maintenance and custody
Interim maintenance and custody are often the most urgent issues. We file the applications at the outset, prepare a detailed affidavit of assets and income, and challenge incomplete disclosures by the other side. For children, we propose practical arrangements for residence, schooling and contact with the other parent.
When the case is contested
If mediation fails, the case moves to evidence. We prepare your affidavit of evidence, gather the documents and messages that support it, and prepare you for cross-examination. We cross-examine the other side’s witnesses carefully and keep the case moving to final arguments.

Divorce Lawyer, Rohini Court: common questions
What happens at the first hearing in a family court?
The court checks service on the other side and, in most cases, refers the parties to mediation or counselling to explore settlement. Interim applications, such as for maintenance, can be filed at the same time.
Is mediation compulsory?
Courts refer most matrimonial cases to mediation, and the family courts are required to try for settlement. Mediation is voluntary in the sense that no one can be forced to settle, but you are expected to take part in good faith.
How quickly can I get interim maintenance?
An application for interim maintenance can be filed at the start of the case. After both parties file their affidavits of assets and income, the court decides it. Delay in filing the affidavit can lead to costs or adverse orders.
Can my domestic violence case be heard at Rohini?
A complaint under the Domestic Violence Act can be filed before the Magistrate where the woman lives, where the respondent lives, or where the cause of action arose. If you live in the area served by Rohini Courts, it can be filed there.
Do I have to attend every hearing?
Not every one. Your advocate represents you on routine dates, but you must attend mediation, counselling, the recording of statements in a mutual divorce, and your own evidence. We tell you in advance which dates need you.
How long does a contested divorce take?
It varies widely with the court's calendar and the number of witnesses. Settlement through mediation can end a case in months; a fully contested case can take much longer. We push for steady progress at every date.
