Separation involves more than one lawyer and one hearing.
Alongside the divorce matter itself, FileMyDivorce connects you to the adjacent legal services most clients eventually need — and the non-legal support that has nothing to do with a courtroom but everything to do with getting through it.
Legal ground that sits next to divorce
Protection under the Domestic Violence Act
Applications under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, including protection orders, residence orders, and interim relief where safety is a concern alongside the divorce.
Maintenance enforcement
Where an interim or final maintenance order isn't being honoured, we connect you to advocates handling execution proceedings and contempt applications to enforce it.
Succession & wills
Updating or drafting a will after divorce, succession certificates, and disputes over inheritance where a prior marriage affects the estate.
Property & title division
Title checks and due diligence on jointly held property, RERA-related disputes, and structuring a clean division or buyout between spouses.
Step-parent & single-parent adoption
Guidance through CARA and court procedures for step-parent or single-parent adoption once a divorce or custody matter is settled.
Prenuptial & post-nuptial agreements
Drafted with a clear note on enforceability under Indian law: prenups carry weight here but aren't automatically binding, and we tell you that upfront.
Support that isn't legal, and doesn't pretend to be
These partners operate outside the practice of law. FileMyDivorce vets and introduces them; it does not supervise their clinical or financial advice.
Therapists & family counsellors
Individual and couples counselling through separation, vetted for relevant clinical credentials.
Financial planners
Post-divorce budgeting, asset-split planning, and help re-building financial independence.
Child psychologists
Support for children processing a separation, and inputs for custody arrangements grounded in the child's welfare.
Co-parenting tools
Shared calendars, expense-splitting, and communication logs for parents raising children across two households.
Asset valuers
Independent valuation of property, business interests, and jointly held investments ahead of settlement talks.
Peer community
A moderated space to hear from others who've been through separation — not legal advice, just company.
What you pay FileMyDivorce, separately from your advocate
| Service | FileMyDivorce platform fee | Billed by |
|---|---|---|
| Advocate matching & first consultation booking | Flat fee, shown before booking | FileMyDivorce |
| Advocate's professional fee | Agreed directly with the advocate | Your advocate |
| Mediation session | Flat per-session facilitation fee | FileMyDivorce + empanelled mediator |
| Non-legal partner services (therapy, valuation, etc.) | No platform fee; billed by the partner | Partner directly |
FileMyDivorce never takes a percentage of an advocate's professional fee, consistent with the Bar Council of India's Rules restricting the sharing of advocates' fees with non-advocates.
Frequently asked
No. Each service is opt-in and billed separately. Most clients use one or two beyond the core divorce matter.
Indian courts treat prenuptial agreements as one relevant factor rather than an automatically binding contract, particularly around maintenance and custody. Our advocates will explain what weight yours is realistically likely to carry.
We check relevant credentials before onboarding a partner, but their clinical, financial, or valuation advice is their own professional responsibility, not legal advice from FileMyDivorce.
