Lawyer unable to go for the last hearing of mutual divorce what to do


30-Sep-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hello, My wife had filed a Maintenance charge for which we have decided to go on a settlement with a decided value. However my condition is to get a mutual divorce after I pay her her share. We have been living separately for one year and have not been divorced. Now in between my lawyer appears to be busy and has refused to go for the last hearing because of his schedule. Will this not affect my case? Should I change the lawyer??

If this is the 1st time then there will be another date for order which you need to collect from the lawyer. But after 2 or 3 consecutive dates ex party order will be given against you. so try not to miss the next date.
