A Centre for Family Resolution, Mumbai

Divorce doesn't have
to become a war.

End your marriage with dignity, privacy and mutual respect, without years of litigation. For couples seeking a peaceful separation, a fair settlement, and a healthier future on the other side.

Two tangled positions, becoming two clear terms
Before Anything Else

You are not failing.
You are simply choosing a better ending.

Whether you're worried about your children, your finances, your family's reaction, or you simply don't want years of court battles, mediation offers a calmer path through this.

"I don't want ugly court fights."

"We have children."

"I want privacy."

"We still respect each other."

"I don't know where to begin."

"I just want this to be fair."

The Problem With How Divorce Usually Goes

It doesn't have to. Here's the difference a structured, mediated process makes.

Is This Right For You?

Most couples who come to us are:

Seeking a mutual consent divorce

Co-parenting and need a workable plan

Wanting to avoid court drama entirely

Needing structured help discussing finances

Separated, but struggling to communicate

Wanting the entire process kept private

How We Help

We don't take sides.
We help both sides move forward.

Neutral

Nobody wins. Nobody loses.

We never represent either of you. That's what makes it possible for both sides to actually trust the room.

Structured

Every discussion follows a framework.

No free-for-all arguments. Each issue is taken one at a time, with a mediator keeping the conversation fair and on track.

Confidential

Your conversations stay private.

Nothing said here becomes a public record. What you agree on is yours to carry forward, not anyone else's business.

What We Help Resolve

The issues couples actually need to work through

Child Custody

Working out where children live, school continuity, and shared decision-making.

Alimony & Maintenance

Fair, realistic numbers, anchored to what a court would likely decide anyway.

Property Division

Homes, land, and jointly held property, split clearly, without a drawn-out fight.

Financial Settlements

Joint accounts, loans, and liabilities, untangled into a clean, fair split.

Parenting Plans

Practical week-to-week schedules that both of you can actually stick to.

Mutual Consent Divorce

Reaching the joint terms required to file together, amicably, from day one.

Family Businesses

Ownership, control, and continuity questions when a business is part of the marriage.

Communication Breakdowns

A neutral space to actually be heard, when talking at home has stopped working.

The Process

How a typical resolution unfolds

Most couples move through these six steps. Some settle faster; complex matters may need more time at any stage.

Step 1

Private Consultation

A confidential first conversation, one-on-one, to understand your situation and whether mediation is the right path.

Step 2

Individual Sessions

We meet each of you separately to understand what matters most to you before bringing you into the same room.

Step 3

Joint Mediation

Structured sessions, together, working through each issue with a trained mediator guiding the conversation.

Step 4

Settlement Terms

Everything you've agreed on is documented clearly, in plain language both of you have signed off on.

Step 5

Legal Documentation

Independent lawyers, yours, not ours, convert your terms into the formal legal documents required.

Step 6

Mutual Consent Divorce Filing

Filed together, on agreed terms, with both of you aligned rather than opposed.

Not every couple who comes to us gets divorced.

Sometimes the process of sitting down and talking properly, for the first time in a long time, leads somewhere unexpected: back together. And if separation is still the right decision, we make sure it happens with compassion and dignity.

Why This Centre Exists

After fifteen years of practice, Sonam Chandwani came to a simple realization.

Most couples did not need a battle. They needed guidance.

They needed a place where difficult conversations could happen with dignity, where children remained the priority, and where separation did not have to mean hostility. That belief became The Amicable Divorce Centre.

Built alongside a panel of psychologists, mediators and legal experts, the Centre exists for couples seeking a more thoughtful way forward. Because not every ending needs conflict.

Questions

What people ask before they come in

Can mediation save our marriage?

Sometimes, yes. Mediation creates a structured space to actually talk, and some couples find their way back to each other through that process. If separation remains the right choice, we help that happen with dignity instead.

Can one spouse attend first?

Yes. Book an Individual Intake session first. It's entirely confidential and there's no obligation to bring your spouse in afterward.

Is mediation legally binding?

Not on its own. What you agree to becomes a written settlement, which independent lawyers then convert into a legally binding document. Sessions themselves are confidential and without-prejudice.

What if my spouse refuses to attend?

Mediation needs both parties genuinely willing to participate. We can sometimes help you make the case to your spouse, but we will never pressure anyone into a session they don't want.

How much does the process cost, in total?

Most matters resolve across 8 to 10 joint sessions at ₹25,000 each, plus an optional ₹10,000 intake. Typically ₹2,10,000 to ₹2,60,000 in total, spread over several weeks, still well below the cost and duration of a contested divorce.

How long does the whole process take?

Most matters resolve across two to three months, scheduled at a pace that works for both of you. More complex matters, such as business interests or multiple properties, can take longer, but still typically far less than a contested case.

Do we still need our own lawyers?

Yes, and intentionally so. We mediate only; we never represent either of you. Once you've reached an agreement, independent lawyers draft and file it. This keeps the room neutral enough for both sides to trust it.

Can custody issues really be resolved this way?

Yes, and often better than in court. You decide the parenting plan together, rather than having one imposed on you. A child welfare consultant joins sessions where custody is a central issue.

Is everything discussed here confidential?

Entirely. Nothing said in session becomes a public record, and nothing is shared outside the room without your consent.

Can NRIs use this service?

Yes. We run video sessions across time zones, so distance is never a reason to delay sorting things out.

Will we still have to go to court at all?

For a mutual consent divorce, a brief court appearance is still legally required to finalise it. But the negotiating, the conflict, and the back-and-forth happen here, not in front of a judge.

How is this different from court-mandated mediation?

Court mediation is free but procedural and time-boxed. Here, sessions are unhurried and private, led by mediators who understand what a court would actually decide, often before you ever need to file.

Begin Here

End the marriage, not your peace.

A calmer path forward. A dignified separation is possible. You don't have to navigate this alone.
