How mutual divorce works in Andhra Pradesh

  1. Both spouses settle terms and prepare the petition
  2. File the joint mutual-consent petition (first motion) in the competent Family Court
  3. Both parties appear; court records first-motion statements
  4. Observe the cooling-off period (generally six months, waivable)
  5. File and appear for the second motion (between 6 and 18 months of the first)
  6. Court verifies consent and passes the Decree of Divorce

Documents required in Andhra Pradesh

  • Marriage certificate / proof of marriage
  • Address proof of both spouses
  • Passport-size photographs of both spouses
  • Evidence of separation for one year or more
  • Income/asset details (for settlement terms)
  • Mutually signed settlement and the joint petition

Good to know in Andhra Pradesh: Requires ≥1 year separation and genuine mutual consent maintained till the second motion; either party may withdraw before the decree. The AP High Court treats the s.13B(2) period as directory, so it can be waived where reconciliation is impossible and settlement complete.

There is usually a six-month cooling-off period between the first and second motions, though courts may waive it in suitable cases. Your lawyer will advise based on your situation.
