01

Identify the relief actually claimed

A DV proceeding can involve different forms of relief. Read the application and orders to identify what has actually been sought and granted.

02

Maintain document context

Keep pleadings, affidavits, income documents, residence documents, medical records where relevant, and prior orders in one matter-wise repository.

03

Track overlapping proceedings

Matrimonial disputes may involve maintenance, divorce, criminal complaints and DV proceedings at the same time. Maintain a master timeline across courts.

04

Avoid one-size-fits-all advice

Residence, maintenance and interim-relief questions depend heavily on the pleadings, relationship, property facts and prior orders.
