How to proceed further after filing divorce petition in the court?


19-Nov-2023 (In Divorce Law)
I've filed a divorce petition and got an acknowledgement that the other party have accepted it. What would be the next step. How would I know whether they have consulted any lawyer or what would be the maximum extent they can go?

If they got it normally they or their counsel will appear before the family court where you filed the petition for divorce.On the next hearing date you can understand whether they have consulted with the lawyer.

If the other party doesn't turn up, he or she will b set exparte and the court will proceed accordingly and pass orders based on your exparte evidence. There is system by which the engagement of lawyer can be ascertained. In case the other party appears then there will be counselling and further proceedings in the court.

The next step is that if they have consulted a lawyer, they will appear through him. If not, the party will be personally present on the date of hearing and make his/her submissions/ request time to appoint a lawyer. If none appears on the part of the respondent, the case will be set exparte

Hi, The case will be posted for counselling. After counselling if the case is not settled it will be posted for the objections of the other. After filing objections the case will be posted for evidence.
