Hi, Your mail does not mention whether you and your Wife are presently residing at UAE, as the Court process is quite faster over here compared to the Courts in India. So on your informing the same, only then you can be advised suitably in the matter. Also note to inform whether your Wife is also willing for Divorce and whether she has any demands including Custody of the Child.

For further clarifications, you may mail to [email protected] or call on 050 2104389.

Best Regards,
