Madam, if you really want a divorce than you both have to come to an understanding and file a mutual consent divorce and where even the payment of maintenance has to be decided if you need it, further divorce cannot be obtained by just signing on a paper but both have to file a Petition in court , further you can file a Petition for divorce alone but you have to prove one or the other grounds required for obtaining divorce like cruelty, desertion etc. And Divorce petition cannot be filed within one year of marriage unless there are rules made by Concerned High Court and the case involves of exceptional hardship. You can either talk and go for mutual consent Divorce and if this is not possible to have to file a Divorce petition alone.
