Mutual Divorce in Bhubaneswar: the process in Odisha
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Bhubaneswar follow Odisha's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. s.13B Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 (Hindus); equivalents under other personal laws (s.28 Special Marriage Act, 1954; Divorce Act, 1869 for Christians). Adjudicated by the Family Court under the Family Courts Act, 1984, supervised by the Orissa High Court, Cuttack.
How mutual divorce works in Odisha
- Both spouses jointly draft and file the s.13B petition before the Family Court (Bhubaneswar / Khordha)
- First motion: court records both parties' statements
- Statutory cooling-off period of 6 months (minimum) up to 18 months (maximum)
- Optional: file an application to waive the cooling-off period where circumstances justify
- Second motion: both parties reappear and reconfirm consent
- Court verifies consent and settlement and passes the Decree of Divorce by mutual consent
Documents required in Odisha
- Marriage certificate / proof of marriage
- Address proof of both spouses
- Identity proof of both spouses (Aadhaar/PAN/Voter ID)
- Photographs of both spouses
- Proof of separation / separate residence
- Income/salary and asset details (for settlement terms)
- Joint petition and mutually signed settlement agreement
Good to know in Odisha: Both parties must have lived separately at least one year, give free consent, and consent must subsist until the decree (either party can withdraw before it). The 6-month cooling-off is directory and waivable in appropriate cases. File at the Family Court having jurisdiction over where the couple last resided or married.
