Since how long have you been staying in Bangalore, will need address proof, you must have lived separately for atleast 1 year, this can be shown to, from the date of filing for the divorce you will have to wait for 6 months and then the divorce will be granted.

You may contact me if necessary and if you do not have any other legal counsel in mind.

A divorce case can be filed under section 13B of Hindu Marriage Act for dissolving the marriage held between you and your wife by a decree of divorce on the grounds of mutual consent.

The jurisdiction for filing divorce can be at following places:

1) Place of marriage (i.e., Asansol)

2) Place where both of you last resided together (if it is Bangalore, then you can file at Bangalore family court itself)

3) Place where the wife is presently living

Divorce on mutual consent will take only six months, i.e., after filing the case, a cooling period of six months waiting is mandatory and on completion of the same, upon other formalities, the court will pass a decree and judgement dissolving the marriage as prayed for.

2. It will take around 6 months for the divorce to be granted by the court.

A single advocate may represent both the persons in the mutual consent divorce intended to file. The advocate fee will depend on the advocate whom you may engage, others cannot fix an advocate fee other than himself.

One advocate can represent both spouses in mutual divorce proceedings. The fee of the lawyers is not uniform, so cannot speak on this.
