Navigating Divorce in Jammu with Dignity and Legal Clarity

When a marriage reaches an irretrievable breakdown, the legal choices made at the outset dictate your financial future, your parental connection, and your personal peace. At Advocate Anisha Puri Dogra & Associates, we provide objective, compassionate, and tactical legal representation before the Family Courts in Jammu and the High Court bench.

Whether you are pursuing a swift, amicable mutual consent divorce (Section 13B HMA) with a cooling-off waiver, or facing high-conflict contested litigation involving cruelty, desertion, or contested alimony, our firm ensures your rights and assets are protected.

When to Consult Our Matrimonial Practice

  • Cruelty & Harassment: Facing physical abuse, continuous mental harassment, financial deprivation, or false accusations by a spouse or in-laws.
  • Continuous Desertion: Your spouse has abandoned the marital home for 2+ consecutive years without reasonable cause.
  • Adultery: Documented proof or strong evidence of extra-marital infidelity.
