Mumbai, Maharashtra · Divorce & Family Lawyer
Mumbai matrimonial lawyers practise across three Family Courts — Bandra, Dindoshi (Goregaon), and Pune Road — plus the Bombay High Court on appeal. NyaySevak's verified Mumbai divorce lawyers handle mutual-consent and contested divorces under Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Parsi and Special Marriage Acts, child custody under the Guardians and Wards Act, maintenance, DV Act proceedings, and 498A / 86 BNS defence.
Mumbai's three Family Courts cover vast caseloads. Bandra Family Court serves the island city up to Mahim. Dindoshi (Goregaon) Family Court serves the western suburbs. The Pune Road / Bandra East Family Court also handles select matters. Thane and Navi Mumbai have separate Family Courts. Jurisdiction is determined by residence of respondent and place of marriage/last cohabitation.
Mumbai's Parsi Matrimonial Court at the High Court is unique — Parsi divorces under the Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act are tried with a panel of 'Delegates' (Parsi lay judges) alongside the judge. Muslim personal law matters go to the Family Court, with talaq and khula registrations typically done before a qazi.
The Bombay HC's matrimonial bench has contributed significantly to Indian family-law jurisprudence — most notably on irretrievable breakdown, shared parenting, and rights of inter-faith couples.
