Divorce petition by post?

Lakshmi Nair (Querist) 27 August 2016 This query is : Resolved
Is it possible to send a divorce petition by post for the other party to sign? My husband and his family are not ready to come to my place of residence and sign. They are demanding the petition to be sent via post. Is this even possible? My lawyer says we both have to come and sign together. Kindly advice.

Yes, mutual divorce petition can be signed at any place .
So you can send the same by post for his signature and later file it in court.
