Hi, you have to pay 50% amount at the time of filling and remaining amount at the time of giving consent at the time of signing final agreement, but one thing both party trust each other so you can settle the matter amicably.

Hello,

1) The best option is to file for a mutual consent divorce.

2) It is unwise to pay the entire amount at one go at first motion as if the wife goes back or doesn't appear the case can eventually get dismissed. At that stage you would be compelled to file s an independent divorce.

3) Make a payment of only 50% at first motion and the rest on the day of the order.

4) Endure that you make a detailed list of things exchanged and the schedule of payment and let it form part of the petition.

1. Yes, there is a risk for making early payment as there will not be much to do immediately if she refuses to appear on the 2nd motion,

2. So, either pay nothing or pay negligible amount assuring her that the balance payment will be made through Demand Draft at Court on the 2nd motion just before her appearing before the Court & if she does not get the said payment, she has the option to refuse to appear in which case the MCD application will be postponed and finally rejected after 18 months from the date of its filing.

We suggest you to execute an MOU, therein specifying the terms and condition of settlement.Further, it is suggested that making full payment at first motion will not be a good idea and thus you should pay 50% at First motion and another 50% at second motion

1. Mutual Divorce is the easiest recourse available under the Indian law to end a strained marital relationship.

2. The entire amount should not be paid in one go at the time of filing of the case.

3. Pay not more than 30% at the time of filing. The remaining amount should be paid only at the second hearing.

4. If either spouse withdraws his/her consent the case will be dismissed. Even contempt of court proceedings cannot be initiated against the spouse who backs out.
