Few simple questions.......
- I have filed for a contested divorce in court but have'nt issued summons. The first date is on 1st Sept. today Met a new lawyer with someone's reference and he has told me a few 'valid' mistakes in the already submitted petition. He asking me to cancel the earlier petition and file a new one asap. But he wants to handle the case now....for which i have no problem as he also seems a reasonable advocate. Now, confusion is - i understand he doing all this for getting a new client but as his reasons and valid, i think i will go with him... BUT would this affect my case in long run ?? What if the old petition is found out by the opponent party ? what is the time limit to change the petition ? I have paid 100% fee to the first advocate.
- Alternatively, As per him, i should let go of my son, in the mutual divorce and then try to opt for him later on. Once i am divorced after the 2nd motion, i can try for the custody of the child by various means ? please guide will this be possible ?? if yes, how ? how can i prove her a non-competitive mother and try getting the custody of my 8 year old son back ?
- If we sign the MCD papers for 1st motion, can she back out at any moment ? what will happen if she does not appear for the 2nd motion ? what can be the remedy in that case ?
Thank you !!!
