Not at all. It is not necessary for you to keep yourself present before court on each and every date. But your lawyer should be there as any adverse order should not be get passed against you. You only have to go there at the time of evidence.

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.
