Both parties to file petition for divorce by mutual consent

2) you should deposit Rs 14 lakhs in court 

2) wife should be permitted to withdraw amount only on withdrawal of cases filed by her 

1. Since you want to end the matrimonial life with her after paying a lump sum amount , hence you should file a Petition for divorce under mutual consent ground.

- Before filing the first motion , you should submit your condition of  payment , and stages of withdrawing the cases filed by the parties, before the Mediator.

2. Divide the payment in three installments ,i.e. stages wise.

3. Yes, 

- Pay Rs.5 lac at the time of withdrawing the filed cases by the wife.

- Second Installment of Rs.5 Lac at the time of First motion statement 

- Third installment of Rs.4 Lac at the time of Second Motion statement ,i.e finalization of decree

Good luck and dont forget to rating Positively. 

Mediator can do nothing to get the cooling off period waived off.

You should pay amount in installment. Paying full amount at one go can lead to complications later as your wife can stop appearing in the mutual consent divorce case and can also be draw consent before the divorce decree is finalized when she has received the entire amount.

Pay her half of the amountwhen the memorandum of settlement is signed and the other half when all the cases are withdrawn from the court.

Ask your lawyer to accompany you. Mediator cannot force any condition on you. Get the memorandum of settlement drafted by some experienced lawyer and you can present the same to be signed by your wife and it can be filed in the court for withdrawing the cases.

All the cases must be withdrawn by the wife. Of ahe is not willing then a mutual consent divorce petition should be filed and divorce be taken in 6 months. Don't give her any money. The money would eb deposited in the court to be given at the time of the final order.

6 month period cannot be waived off easily. 

All the terms and conditions must be clearly spelled out. 

She can withdraw the DV case, she can even sign the petition for mutual consent divorce on the same day.

After a week time you both can file a joint affidavit seeking to waive the waiting period  after which the court may grant divorce.

Thus on the second motion you can settle ll the amount that was agreed upon and the same may be recorded in the mutual consent decree, which will help you to reject her future claim for maintenance.

 a joint petition for dissolution of marriage for a decree of divorce is to be presented to the family court by both the spouses on the ground stating that they have not been able to live together and have mutually agreed to dissolve the marriage or they have been living separately for a period of one year.

There is no system of deposit the money with court in the case if mutual divorce. Make two part payments of the decided amount. Pay first half at the time of filing the petition or after withdraw the case and remaining half at the time of final hearing of MCD second motion.

1. If an agreement is reached on applying for mutual consent divorce then let her withdraw the criminal cases before the final motion of MCD.

2. Not more than 20% of the finally agreed amount should be paid on the first motion. Balance should be paid only on the second motion.

Bombay HC quashes dowry case as couple reaches settlement

The Bombay high court recently quashed a dowry harassment case against an Andheri resident and his parents by his wife, following an out-of-court settlement between the couple that includes his paying Rs 60 lakh as alimony. The couple agreed to dissolve their marriage by mutual consent with the custody of their minor daughter remaining with the estranged wife. They also resolved to withdraw all criminal cases they had lodged against each other, including the dowry harassment case.
“It can, thus, be seen that the matter has been amicably settled between the parties. From the perusal of complaint, it transpires that the allegations are totally personal in nature. The alleged offence cannot be said to have any impact on the society,” said a division bench of Justice Ranjit More and Justice Sarang Kotwal. The bench cited a Supreme Court judgment that had held that in the event of settlement of matrimonial dispute, an FIR under Section 498A of the IPC could be quashed, even though the offence of dowry harassment was not compoundable.

Five years after the woman lodged the dowry harassment case, her husband had filed a divorce plea before the Bandra family court in 2014. According to the petition in the high court, the couple’s relatives had brought about a settlement between them. As per the consent terms, the man agreed to pay Rs 60 lakh towards his estranged wife’s claim of maintenance and permanent alimony for herself and the couple’s minor daughter. The daughter’s custody would remain with the mother, with the father getting access according to the child’s convenience.
In the high court, the man told the judges that he had no objection to hand over custody of the daughter to his wife and allow her to withdraw the money he had deposited before the Bandra family court once the marriage is dissolved under the Hindu Marriage Act.
On a query by the HC judges, the woman said that she had no objection for quashing the criminal proceedings initiated by her and she was doing so on her own free will, without there being any pressure or influence. She has further confirmed that she had agreed for the settlement and had no objection for quashing the criminal proceedings initiated by her. She said that she had agreed to it without there being any undue influence, coercion and pressure on her.
Taking into consideration the statement, the high court held that there was no impediment for striking down the criminal case against the man and his parents.

You should agree that you will deposit the amount in family court and she can only withdraw the same once all the cases are quashed. The aforesaid condition will bind her not to take undue advantage for the same
