Yes definitely the presence of party is not essential Your lawyer is essentially the representative of your side so your presence or not does not make difference to the case. Hence your lawyer can appear in your place.

Yes, the advocate can appear in court instead of the person taking divorce or any matrimonial disputes. However, one must appear at time of recording of statements before court for the same. In every type of divorce either Mutual or contested.
