it depends upon where the matter is pending i mean whether a family court or the civil court. it depends upon who are you ? unless it is disclosed to me it would be difficult to advise. if it a family court then it is advisable to attend as first two dates are for counseling

Yes...

It is very mandatory to attend the first hearing..

However if you have not attended the first date then it is dangerous as the court can pass ex parte order against you.

Please appoint and Advocate and fight the case.

Dear client
If it is divorce by mutual consent I will suggest try to atained courts date, it is convenient for both the parties to save time. In other cases also it is good if u attain courts date.
If you cannot attained court for some genuine reason court consider it.

If neither you nor your lawyer attend court, the court will set the next hearing date. If this happens twice or three times, the court will issue an ex parte judgment against you. The opposite party will win without effort, and you will have to do whatever the opposite party asks in court.
