Your advocate is making fool of you, he's a cheat.
For divorce by mutual consent by both parties joint petition u/s 13B Hindu Marriage Act is filed in the Family Court by both parties, praying the marriage be dissolved as both have agreed for it are unable to continue their marriage, they both are not living in any marital relationship for 1 year hence living separately.
The waiting period of 6 months is given before the court dissolve the marriage but in exceptional cases the cooling period of 6 months can be waived off by the court.
This the best way the divorce case where both parties agree should be done, if any advocate not doing in this manner then he's not capable to handle such cases.
Throw the advocate out and file fresh divorce by mutual consent petition through some senior and experienced advocate.
