Some Endings Are Acts of Care.
When the kindest thing left to do is part, you do not need a fight. You need a clean, quiet exit, walked together.
What you both have decided
Two Endings. Two Beginnings.
Hers, agreed
“I want you to be free. I want me to be free.”
His, agreed
“I want this to end fairly. I want this to end.”
Two paths. The same kindness.

Common questions
- How long does a mutual-consent divorce take in India?
- A mutual-consent divorce under Section 13B usually takes about 6 to 18 months, depending on the court and the mandatory cooling-off period between the two motions. Partlee sends weekly written updates so you always know where your matter stands.
- What is the difference between mutual-consent and contested divorce?
- Mutual-consent (Section 13B) is when both spouses agree to divorce and the terms; it is faster and less adversarial. Contested (Section 13) is filed by one spouse on specific grounds such as cruelty or desertion when the other does not agree, and takes longer.
- Is Partlee a law firm?
- No. Partlee coordinates your matter and prepares drafts; the legal work - review, signing, and filing - is carried out by empanelled professional firms. Nothing on Partlee is legal advice.
- What does Self-Guided Divorce cost?
- It is quoted privately, per matter, after a short questionnaire, plus any statutory court fees. You see one number for the Partlee scope before you commit.
