hi

in this case if you have received summons then you have to attend the court to honour the court's requirement for your presence

failing to which may result into adverse orders will be passed against you for which you had given fair chance of hearing

even if you don't want anything from other party it is your legal duty to put forth your testimony

A divorce lawyer will file a contested dissolution of marriage if the wife refuses to grant a divorce. A contested divorce is more stressful than a mutual one. Divorce is either mutual or contested. Contested divorce occurs when the wife denies divorce.

It is not compulsory upon the party to attend the matter however liberty is been given by the court to other to come and put up their case. In case you have received the summons from record and you are willfully not attending the matter, the court may pass an ex-partee decree against you assuming the contents of the petition big true.

If the petitioner has filed case in family court, he/she must be asking for grant of some relief/prayer from the said court. If you as a Respondent is not attending the court then court may proceed ex-parte and pass appropriate order/ judgement in the case as per the petition filed by petition and it may have adverse effect for you.
