Query on the written statement stage in Contested Divorce


22-Feb-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi Team, The written statement court date is nearby. However, I do not have a lawyer yet. My query is what are my options if I don't have a lawyer on the day of Written Statement Court Date? Can I inform the judge of the same and can get extra time? The case falls under Hindu marriage act.

If the matter has reached a stage of written statement in family court, naturally you got sufficient time to get legal assistance of a lawyer. Judge may grant time with or without cost depending on the circumstances or may pass no written statement order.
