Can spouses settle financial issues during the case?

Yes. During proceedings under Section 10 or Section 10A, spouses may settle finances:

  • lump-sum alimony (Section 37),
  • child expenses,
  • property rights,
  • loan liabilities. Courts routinely record settlements under Order XXIII CPC, and settlement agreements become part of the final decree. Mutual consent divorces require a written settlement agreement.
