How long does a divorce take if one party doesn t agree in India?
It can take up to 35 years for a contested divorce. If you file your application with your case file, and the court accepts it, then your case will be accepted, and the court will send notice to the opposing party. The other party is called to court, and a date for their response to be submitted on the next date will be given.
if you skip your matter in middle then there is always a possibility that the court will proceed to pass an ex Parte order in favour of petitionerand therefore to avoid that, at least your lawyer should take care of it.
if you have appointed an attorney to represent you and unless there is a court order you don't have to remain present personally for all the hearing however to show the bonafides it's always better to attend the matter on all hearings.
