Hi,
My husband has filed a divorce petition against me stating mental cruelty. We are separated for around 5 months now due to misunderstanding and fights. during that period he has sent me a draft petition for MCD which i denied stating that we are not separated for an year. My questions are as below.
1)The petition was submitted by my FIL as my husband is abroad (Can he submit if has power of attorney)
2) The petition I received doesn’t have the date and signature of the petitioner (is this a valid petition?)
3)I am asked to appear to the court next month, should my husband be present for the hearing or it is not required since the power of attorney is with his father?
4) I am ready for mutual consent , his lawyer mentioned that the case would be referred to mediation and we can close the case amicably by withdrawing the charges against me ?This whole process with be 10 days ? after mediation within 10 days will divorce be granted?
Thanks,
