If both husband and wife agreed for divorce then file a joint petition for divorce by mutual consent otherwise you can file a contested divorce and without detail discussion proper consult is not possible.

What do you want?? You want divorce or mutual settlement? If you want divorce, you can change your Advocate anytime if you want. If you want mutual settlement, file a petition before the Learned Court for ADR i.e. Alternative Dispute Resolution by way of Mediation or you can directly talk to the judge and tell him to mutually settle the dispute if your wife wants so.

Change your lawyer and such proceedings do take time. You can file an appeal for speedy trial and submit the order before the court and seek for disposal. You can even go for mutual by informing the judge to convert it
