Divorce notice

There is no hard and fast rule when the court has to proceed ex-parte.  If the court satisfies that the court notice has been properly served on the respondent and despite that the respondent has not appeared, on that date itself the court can proceed exparte.  Otherwise, sometimes the court will give one or two more opportunities before proceeding exparte.  If you want to delay the divorce proceedings, this non-appearance is not the correct tactic.  There are some other methods, which can be safely followed by you and your advocate.  So, appear in the court and ask for mediation and take your own time in mediation and also contest the divorce petition with all your might (knowing very well that the relationship  is dead) so that for severing the relationship he has to appropriately compensate you and your child.
