sSa Legal draws upon the more than 17 years of litigation experience of its founder, Sunil Sharma, Advocate, in dealing with matrimonial and family disputes. Such matters require not only an understanding of family law, but also sensitivity towards the personal, financial and practical consequences that can continue long after the immediate court proceedings have concluded.
Matrimonial disputes often extend beyond divorce itself and involve maintenance and financial support, custody and welfare of children, residence, property, criminal proceedings and the continuing rights and obligations of both parties. The approach is therefore not confined to identifying available legal remedies, but to understanding how each remedy may affect the broader dispute and the client’s circumstances.
Litigation strategy is developed in consultation with the client after examining the facts, available evidence, applicable law and practical consequences of the available remedies. The existence of a legal remedy does not necessarily mean that pursuing it in isolation is the most appropriate course. The objective is to formulate a legally sustainable strategy that remains responsive to the realities of the dispute, the client’s priorities and the manner in which the proceedings are likely to develop before the courts.
Particular experience extends to matrimonial disputes involving NRIs and persons residing overseas. Such matters can become considerably more complex where matrimonial, maintenance, custody or criminal proceedings are pending in India while one or both parties live abroad. Questions concerning personal appearance, travel, foreign employment, immigration status, parallel proceedings, service of process and implementation of Indian court orders may materially affect litigation strategy.
For overseas clients, particular attention is given to organising Indian proceedings in a manner that reduces avoidable procedural difficulty, limits unnecessary travel where legally permissible and enables effective participation despite geographical distance. The objective is to make the Indian litigation process more manageable without compromising the legal position or procedural requirements of the case. The same strategic and consultative approach remains central to matters involving clients based in India.
