Divorce after 2 yrs of separation

Hi,

People please guide me.

I have been separated since 2 years and the divorce case is also pending for almost 2 years.

My lawyer says that 1st the maintenance needs to be declared by the court before any decision can be made by the court on DIVORCE ?

Lawyer says that settling the issue by meeting the other party's demands is the quick thing of getting divorce.

ELSE there is wait for atleast another 2-3 years

Is this true ?

Kindly Help ...............
