How Long Does a Divorce Take in Nepal

At MYLAWYER GLOBAL, we understand that divorce is not only an emotional process but also a legal journey that requires clarity and guidance. One of the most common questions people ask is: “How long does it take to get a divorce in Nepal?”

The duration of a divorce case in Nepal depends on whether it is filed with mutual consent or as a contested divorce.

Divorce by Mutual Consent

  • When both husband and wife agree to end the marriage, the process is simple and quick.

  • The couple jointly files a petition at the District Court.

  • The court records their statements, verifies documents, and ensures agreements on property, custody, and financial matters (if applicable).

  • Once satisfied, the court issues a Divorce Decree.

  • Estimated time: Divorce by mutual consent can be completed immediately or within a few weeks to a month.

Contested Divorce (Without Mutual Consent)

  • If one party disagrees or disputes arise over property, custody, or alimony, the process takes longer.

  • The court must conduct hearings, review evidence, and examine witness statements.

  • Matters like child custody and property division are carefully decided by the judge.

  • Estimated time: Divorce without mutual consent may take up to 12 months or longer depending on the complexity of the case.

Factors That Affect the Timeline

  • Court workload and hearing dates

  • Completeness of required documents

  • Presence of disputes (property, custody, alimony)

  • Cooperation of both parties
