Mam first of all I would like to know from u that who has suggested to hire a government lawyer n what relief do u think a government lawyer can seek for u which a private lawyer cannot get. Secondly mam Government lawyers has no role to expedite the proceedings in ur case since ur husband must have hired a private lawyer n this case is not against the state, it is between two private individuals. Mam divorce proceedings with mutual consent takes it own time i.e approx 1yr or may be little more then that.

Free legal aid can be sought from the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA), various State Legal Services Authorities or District Legal Services Authorities. An application can be made by any person in need of free legal services to the concerned authority or committee by sending in a written form or filling the forms prepared by the authorities, briefly stating the reason for seeking legal aid. The application is available free of charge.It can even be applied for orally to an officer or a paralegal volunteer of the concerned legal authority.
The action taken on an application varies from providing counselling or legal advice to the parties, to providing a lawyer for representation in a court of law.
