4)contested divorce cases take 5 years to be disposed of

1. The period of desertion should be two years or more.

2. It depends on how properly you prosecute the case and put forth the merits in your case with supporting documentary evidences and strong arguments in your favor.

3. It is contest case, so you contest the same properly.

4. You can prefer an appeal before the high court against the judgment which is against you.

1. 2 YEARS IS TIME TIME OF DESERTION WHICH DID NOT HAPPEN AT THE TIME WHEN YOU FILED THE DIVORCe divorce.

2. If you have taken the plea of mental cruelty and prove the allegations then you may get divorce.

3. if she does not agree which is most likely you will have to prove the allegations to get divorce.

4. if divorce is not granted then file appeal in high court and then supreme court.

1. You can file the divorce suit on the ground of desertion after her staying away from you for a continuous period of two years. However, you can file the divorce suit on the ground of cruelty after completion of one year of marriage.

2. You may get decree of divorce if you can establish your allegations against her properly before the Court.

3. It hardly matters if she does not agree. She will contest the case in the Court and the Judge will either pass decree of dismiss the suit after hearing both the parties.

4. You should give maximum concentration in attending the hearings of the divorce suit and should not allow any lapses on the part of the lawyer. You can also negotiate with your wife for agreeing to a term for jointly filing a mutual consent divorce petition which will be disposed of within 6 & 1/2 months from the date of its filing.
