Hi
Your lawyer can file a leave petition before the court and explain your absence.
If you are absent for 2 hearings, you may file a petition for leave of absence and present in the court either through your advocate or through an authorised representative.
However you should ensure that the you attend the court on the 3rd hearing atleast so that you are not awarded an ex-parte divorce decree.

Dear Client,
You need not worry, you can attend on the date of adjournment to your case to the Family Court. Don`t fail to attend the case. Be regular. Engage an expert advocate to look after your case.

You have to represent to the court requesting for dispensing your attendance through your Advocate by furnishing the circumstances. Here attendance of yours is not important and reacting for the day to day case hearings are the important. So mere non attendance by you for consecutive hearings , nothing will be negative on your aspect but that must be taken in to the knowledge of the officer/judge. O.k
