Safety first

If you or a child are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or a protection officer. Online forms are not for emergencies.

Guidance vs representation

Platform guidance is general. Court filings and hearings need an advocate you personally engage after verifying enrolment with the State Bar Council.

Frequently asked questions

Can I ask a family law query online in India?
Yes. You can describe marriage, divorce, maintenance, custody, or domestic concerns on Adhiwakta for general guidance from independent advocates. It is not a substitute for formal advice or court representation.
