Divorce on Mutual Understanding

Mutual Consent Divorce in Nepal

Mutual consent divorce is a legal process in Nepal where both husband and wife voluntarily agree to end their marriage without prolonged disputes. This is generally the fastest, most cost-effective, and least stressful method of obtaining a divorce. The spouses jointly submit a petition to the competent court, confirming that they mutually agree to dissolve the marriage and have reached an understanding regarding matters such as property, financial obligations, and child custody, if applicable.

Approximate Processing Time

• Usually 2 working days, depending on the court's schedule and the completeness of the required documents.

Required Documents

• Original or certified copy of the Marriage Registration Certificate (if available)

• Citizenship Certificates of both spouses

• Recent passport-size photographs of both parties

• Joint application for mutual consent divorce

• Written settlement agreement signed by both spouses

• Details of children, if any

• Property settlement agreement (if applicable)

• Valid identification of both parties

Initial Consultation & Legal Fees

The initial consultation includes a review of your case, explanation of the legal procedure, document checklist, and advice on the most appropriate legal approach. A separate document preparation fee applies for drafting the divorce petition, settlement agreement, affidavits, and other required legal documents.

The final legal fee depends on the complexity of the case, additional documentation, court requirements, translation or notarization, and whether further hearings become necessary. Cases involving property disputes, child custody, or incomplete documentation may require additional legal work, which can increase the overall cost. A transparent fee estimate will be provided after the initial consultation.
