Matrimonial Cases
Maintenance, domestic violence, dowry and cruelty cases, and restitution of conjugal rights — for wives and husbands.
Learn more →Family disputes go well beyond divorce. We advise on the custody and welfare of children, guardianship of a child and a child's property, adoption, and the rights of elderly parents to maintenance.
The welfare of the child is the court's paramount concern in custody and guardianship cases, and many family matters can be settled through mediation at the Family Court.
