1. could you please educate me on the approach of Mutual consent? In my view, it would be a less chance attempt.
Divorce on the grounds of mutual consent shall be by filing a joint petition before the court seeking dissolution of marriage without assigning the actual or any reason.
2. in other case "divorce on grounds of mental cruelty" please educate me the process, I have this question, as we both are staying in same house as of now. Is there any precursor actions or process that required to process this?
The only criteria for divorce on the mutual consent is that both have to have lived separately from each other for at least one year before the date of filing this petition.
No doubt you both were staying under the same roof bu you both can live separately even if residing under the same roof.
