Wife didnot attend the DV case date last time. My lawyer suggests if she doesnot come again next time we can request judge to dismiss the case. Is this the correct way ?
After how many occasions if the complainant/wife doesnot attend court dates, we can get the case dismissed ?
If the case is dismissed once in the court, can the wife have chance to reopen it back again ? If such reopening is possible for dismissed cases, what would happen to the proceedings, would it start from beginning or start from the point where it ended before dismissing ?
