A mutual divorce petition is a legal document that expresses the consent of both the spouses to end their marriage and settle all the issues related to alimony, child custody, property division, etc. Once the petition is filed, the court will give a six-month cooling-off period for the parties to reconsider their decision and try to reconcile. After six months, the parties have to appear before the court again and confirm their consent for the second motion. If both the parties are still willing to divorce, the court will grant a decree of divorce by mutual consent.

However, if one of the parties changes their mind or is not satisfied with the settlement terms, they can withdraw their consent at any stage before the decree is passed. The consent given by the parties must be free and voluntary, and not obtained by force, fraud, or undue influence. If one of the parties proves that they were coerced or deceived into signing the petition, the court will not grant a divorce by mutual consent.

However, this may lead to a long and bitter legal battle that may affect your personal and professional life.
