This following post is written keeping in mind legal
services for corporate employees in
Gurgaon, and Delhi NCR. The following information takes into consideration the requirements and time limitations
of office employees or corporate employees. Primarily people who do not have
the time to spare from their busy work schedules. Furthermore, such situations
can also have a negative effect on the office going professionals job and/or careers.
To prevent such a situation and keeping in mind the best interests the following information has been published. This following content focuses on divorce situations among corporate employees and some simple advice designed to be beneficial to the working professional.
In many divorce cases there is the option of both spouses
going in for a mutual divorce and resolving their differences on their own. So
why doesn’t it happen that way if this is the case, in the majority of the
situations.
It is one issue that the married couple decide that they are
no longer well suited to each other, however it is a completely different story
that they end up in long drawn out disputes in court.
Without much delay about the reason why divorces
unnecessarily become complicated, let us delve in to the issue. The Law of
India has many provisions to protect women from various kinds of abuse, both
inside of marriage and outside of marriage. These legal sections/laws fall
under both ‘family court related charges’ and ‘criminal court related charges’.
Unfortunately, for many couples who are seeking to separate from
each other, there are many 3rd parties who are not involved in the
issue directly, who at the opportune moment will create a mess in the situation
and therefore the lives of the couple. These 3rd parties are
generally the friends of the couple and relatives/family members. The problems usually
arise due to the fact that such third parties have little or no knowledge of
legal matters, and treat the entire matter as a game to be ‘won or lost’. When
in reality, the situation is often very much more complicated than this.
Due to following the illiterate advice given by well meaning
3rd parties, many couples unfortunately end up in very nasty divorce
cases, where there are multiple criminal and other types of charges levelled upon
each other. These criminal and other charges usually end up involving the
police and sometimes other forms of hostilities as well.
To further complicate the issue when warring parties then
visit any legal firm or legal professional, the legal professional will take up
the case as per the situation. If the situation is already war-like, the legal professional
will advise on further legal actions that are also hostile.
How does such a situation affect the couple who wants a divorce?
To begin with in most cases the situation often becomes very
unbearable for the couple. As sound legal advice given by Peace Legal Services,
we advise couples to mediate and find a clear path involving finances and items
of value that are to be divided etc, without the need for proving right/wrong
or going in for a win/lose type of divorce. If the situation becomes such of
win/lose or right/wrong, then the entire matter has gone off track and will end
up becoming a contested divorce which is a Stressful, Expensive and Time
consuming matter for both parties and others involved, such as the parents and
close relatives of the couple.
Peace Legal Service suggests, sort out your differences on your
own itself, between husband and wife only, including financial settlements etc.
This needs to be done in an open and honest manner from both sides. If there is
failure to be open and transparent then again the talks will fail and lead to a
contested divorce. Furthermore, if it’s a matter of contested divorce, then the
parties will need to find individual lawyers who will happily guide them on the
most damage and harassment they can cause to their spouse. The end result is
that your lawyers will be happy because they will need to be paid for their
legal services, while the parties will be highly stressed out and miserable, as
they will now be involved in a long drawn out legal battle which in most cases
will not serve either parties best interests.
What to do if you are unable to resolve the legal differences
between yourselves;
If you are your spouse are unable to resolve your disputes and
terms for separation and mutual divorce on your own, then we suggest using the
assistance of a Legal Professional who is well versed in the Family Court laws,
and also someone who clearly is dedicated to providing you with a Mutual
Divorce rather than a Contested Divorce.
The serious disadvantages of going in for a contested
divorce:
1.
They end up costing both parties a lot of wasted
money. The duration may end up draining both parties finances as well.
2.
They end up wasting years of the parties lives,
which are filled with stress caused by the legal case.
3.
There are additional kinds of stress also involved
for the concerned parties.
These above mentioned disadvantages of going in for a
contested divorce is advised, unless there are legitimate legal reasons to choose otherwise.
Legitimate reasons include abuse of any kind or the violation of laws and
rights of one individual by the other. In such a case the divorce can also
include criminal cases and other forms of civil cases as well. However, if there
is no legitimate need to choose such a path apart from emotional reasons, then
it is unadvisable, because while emotions may change in a while, the legal
situation will continue for a long time going into the future. Hence it is
always advisable to consult with a legal professional and know your legal
options before choosing to take legal actions that are not necessary.
Summary:
Finding yourself in a situation such as this is a tough
situation to be in. In such a situation a person needs to think clearly and
make informed and wise decisions, for themselves and their future. The final
decision is entirely dependent on the individual circumstances of the situation,
and the current environment of the individual. For corporate employees in Gurgaon,
corporate legal services are customized to take into consideration their work
demands and their other commitments.
