It is your legal right to choose an advocate of your choice. You don't need to file a new petition, just your new counsel has to file a vakalatnama to represent you further in your case. In case, you need assistance in that regard, you may consult me as I am a matrimonial lawyer practicing in all the district courts of Delhi.

from what I understand an ex parte order has been passed against you. you can take the following steps.
Appeal: The husband can file an appeal against the ex parte order in a higher court. Typically, an appeal needs to be filed within a specified period of time, which can vary depending on the nature of the case and the court involved.

Setting aside the ex parte order: The husband can file an application to set aside the ex parte order. This can be done by providing valid reasons to the court, such as lack of proper notice or inability to attend the proceedings due to a genuine reason.

Filing a revision petition: The husband can file a revision petition before the higher court, seeking a review of the ex parte order. The court may examine the legality and correctness of the order and may modify, reverse, or remand the case back to the lower court for a fresh hearing.

You need to appoint another advocate to do the needful. And if there's no scope of living together then rather stretching the relationship you should file for contested divorce under the ground of cruelty. I would suggest you to go with mutual divorce because it's cost effective and ends up in a maximum of six months. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

You may continue with the same case and take services of another competent Lawyer to defend you and make the case stronger by filling additional facts and applications to make the case strong if needed.
