Yes. While the law prescribes a 6-month cooling-off period between the First and Second Motions, the Supreme Court has ruled that this period is directory, not mandatory. If the parties have been separated for significantly longer than a year, if all settlement terms are fully executed, and if waiting further causes clear hardship, a waiver application can be moved to request the judge to expedite the second motion.
The single biggest cause of delay is ambiguity in the written settlement terms. If a clause regarding future alimony payments, child education expenses, or real estate transfer is left vague, either party may experience hesitation and withdraw their consent before the Second Motion statement is recorded. Clear, exhaustive drafting prevents this risk entirely.

Yes. The physical presence of an NRI spouse is not mandatory for every single administrative step. The law permits an NRI spouse to execute paperwork through a Power of Attorney (POA) assigned to a trusted representative in India, and modern family courts regularly permit the recording of statements via secure video conferencing channels.
