Wife is dragging the case

G V RAO (Querist) 18 January 2010 This query is : Resolved
I have filed divorce with the grounds of cruelty & desertion. It is at my cross stage.
My wife is not attending the court , but her lawyer just come and ask for the next date by saying one or other reason.
During last court in dec'09, judge informed her lawyer to bring my wife to court and taken the signature in the order sheet from me and her lawyer. Inspite of the order, her laywer just came during jan'10 and taken one more date in Feb'10.

Her intention is only to drag the case some how.

Is that any other way to overcome such situation in the family court. Is that any rule one party is not attending the case, so that the other party can ask for the next stage by waiving of the current stage.

Kindly advice on this.

Taking adjournments are common nowadays. But in your case if you feel that the lawyer of your wife still takes more time and not cross examines you within the date fixed by the court, you can inform the court that your wife is wantonly dragging the matter and you shall highlight the number of dates she had taken time(adjournments) and you shall request the court to close the cross examination and list the case for the next stage(wife's evidence).

Dear Krishnaa,

Thanks for your reply. Let me try during next date. Is that any specific counts are there in family court wrt to the dates the other party takes.
