Please dont push your personal agenda here and give links to pages which are obviously written by someone who knows nothing about the law. If you cannot answer a question in the forum then leave.

48 and wanting divorce. Its never too late is a encouraging phrase, but at 48 divorce? Most of the judges/magistrates are hardly 29-32 who will decide on your friend's case.

Just think about that.

You can file for divorce right away either.

1.  Based on mental cruelty [booziing, shouting etc]. or..

2.  Mutual consent divorce which will be best for the given age.  Process would be 6 months of waiting period and then you'll be granted divorce.  Here you makesure that the said property which is co-owned be split in half, these things have to be mentioned in the MCD papers.  As to how to split in half?  Either the guy has to cough up equivalent money which amounts to half.  Or the same half can be given by wife to husband and take over the property in total. Both not possible?  Sell of the property and whatever you get from such sale of property, divide it 50:50.  50:50 in case both have put in a share of 50:50.  If its 75:25 etc likewise sharing will be done.

@ citizen kane,

IF somebody is helping you without any expectations or any money,you should accept it or not it depends on you,but writing stupid comment for him doesn't show any generorsity in you.However the link is very much useful.It shows you are so mean minded person.

@ Author the bible states what god has joined let no man break . Even if you go for dovirce and the manner in which indian courts function your would be in your sixties grey hair wrinkles and by the time you would be running around courts and wasting your money on lawyers fees as well as your time and getting frustated . Its better to part peacfully and settle things ambically with your husband and take your share of the property .

@ Divorce Lawyer the author has stated that her husband is not agreeing for Divorce than how is MCd possible ;)
