1. Well , all the terms and conditions including settlement of alimony must be clearly mentioned in the mutual divorce petition.

2.The schedule of payment must also be clearly mentioned in the petition also which is generally divided into 2 parts. First part is to be paid at the time of signing the petition and the balance at he time of final hearing.

3.DO note that wife after receipt of first part may refuse to come later on to give mutual divorce and you can do nothing to stop this.

You both husband and wife have to enter in to memorandum of compromise in writing on Rs. 100/- non judicial stamp paper by mentioning all the terms and conditions of settlement. Said MOC shall be in two original sets i.e. One for husband and another for wife. There after you both have to file mutual consent divorce petition under Section 13B of Hindu Marriage Act 1955 along with required affidavits, marriage invitation card, marriage photos, ID and residence proofs before concerned family/ district court by appearing personally

Dear Querist

You should execute a MOU/Compromise Deed before filing the Mutual Consent Divorce and in MOU/Compromise Deed mention all the terms and condition regarding the past, present and future consequences. then file MCD before the family Court U/s 13(B) of Hindu Marriage Act-1955.

Mention the penalty clause in the deed that in case, she take any U-turn and did not cooperate with the finalization of the divorce proceedings or other cases then the double amount will has to be paid.

1. In MCD either spouse can revoke his consent before the second and final motion, whereupon the court will be left with no option but to dismiss the MCD petition.

2. Keep her on her toes by paying not more than 20% of the finally agreed amount before the final motion.

If you have decided to dissolve your marriage by mutual consent divorce, you may draw the terms for one time settlement quit 'alimony' amount and the mode of disbursement.

You may pay an initial amount at the time of filing the joint petition and can pay the balance after the second motion.

You can also prepare the terms that if she fails to turn up for second motion, besides you shall be proceeding with a contested divorce cae on the grounds of mental cruelty you shall be entitled to file a money recovery suit for the amount she has taken it initially if she is not returning the same.

All the terms may be reduced to writing and duly witnessed by two people from both the sides.

1) You are at liberty to go abroad

2) As on date there are no restrictions imposed by court on your foreign travel

3) Obtain copy of FIR

4) Police would issue you notice to record your statement

5) Apply for anticipatory bail

If the MCD could not materialise then you may proceed with the filing of divorce case on the grounds of cruelty and the latest addition of 498a and other related cases by her can be cited as the best reasons and evidences for her acts of cruelty.

In the meantime, if you have already obtained anticipatory bail for the criminal cases against you, better proceed with the proposed foreign trip silently and secretly and return safely.

Do not reveal your plans to anyone till the last moment and even in the last moment you can inform to your closest relative about this.
