From the facts stated, the relief of divorce cannot be granted in proceedings under the Domestic Violence Act. The DVC court can only pass orders relating to protection, residence, maintenance and compensation. Divorce can be granted only by the competent Family Court in a properly filed matrimonial petition. Therefore, both proceedings are legally separate and will continue independently. If the opposite party is not appearing and the case is delayed at the summons stage, you may take steps before the Family Court for substituted service and request the court to proceed ex-parte. Once the respondent is set ex-parte, the court can decide the divorce based on your evidence, which may help in obtaining early relief. The time and outcome depend on proper procedure, documentary evidence and court workload. Hence, it is advisable to take appropriate legal steps without delay and maintain consistency in your pleadings across all connected cases. A detailed review of your case records will help in formulating the most effective strategy.
