My wife was staying separately since december 2009. She was staying with her parents. In 2012 she filed divorce case which was contested by me and settled in dec 2013. She stayed for 7 months wth me and again went to her parents house. Since Aug 2014 we are again staying separate. We have discussed and filed mutual divorce case under 13 B in Dec 2015. Now court has given date of July 2015. Please suggest how this cooling off period can be waived off as we both wants divorce as early as possible.

The six month cooling off period as of the current law cannot be waived of. it is important period since cooling-off period sometimes results in reconciliation between the estranged husband and wife leading to saving their marriage.

Except the case pending before Supreme Court, the petitioners (parties) have to wait for cooling period in a case u/s 13B HMA, 1956.

You have waited all along to file this divorce case so wait for another six months to get it disposed finally.
