Lengthy divorce process – having live-in relationship meanwhile

[Dr. Ashok Dhamija]

Usually, it may take a few years to get the divorce case completed in most states. Further, there may be appeal(s), which may take further time for disposal. In fact, even divorce by mutual consent also would take about 8-9 months.

It would be advisable for you to negotiate with your husband and file an application for divorce on the basis of mutual consent. That will ensure an early and uncontested divorce.

Live-in relationship with another man while your first marriage is still valid, may not be a good idea. It may land the man in legal trouble of adultery offence as and when it comes to the knowledge of your husband.
