Contested Divorce
Divorce on statutory grounds such as cruelty, desertion or adultery where the other spouse does not consent.
When one spouse does not agree to a divorce, the petitioner must prove a statutory ground, such as cruelty, desertion for two years, adultery, conversion or mental disorder, through evidence. Contested proceedings involve pleadings, evidence and cross-examination, and careful preparation matters at every stage.
