What to do to speed up a mutual divorce case?
02-Dec-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi, my lawyer had filed mutual divorce petition in the month of September 2017 and we got the date of 17th November for getting report but unfortunately my lawyer could not attend on that day and got a new date of 10th January 2018. Now when I asked my lawyer for the reference number he is lingering the matter. So I want to know that what all procedure is more left to get the decree? And if my lawyer leave my case in the mid than what can I do? Please help me as I want to come out of this case as soon as possible. I have not asked for any alimony. Just I have a son of 6 years he will be with me.
In the cases under section 13{B} of HMA 1955, the court may grant divorce after six month's separation period and those six months start from date of filing the petition. If you got a date of next month and you want to change your lawyer you can change them by taking n.o.c. from them.
Ask your lawyer to attend on every date otherwise change your lawyer. After the conciliation report you will be given 6 months cooling period after which both of you have to file second motion. File an application in the court to dispense with the 6 month's cooling period, according to latest Supreme Court decisions court may allow it. Even if court rejects the application you will get divorce after 6 months after the conciliation report.
