My lawyer cheated me in mutual divorce petition case. please

 You should file a written complaint with local bar association and Bar Council of that particular state and apart from that you have to file a private complaint against your lawyer before the local criminal court.

Did you use the thumb impression or literally signed the document....

Hi Mr. Mango, which document are you talking about? Are you referring to vakalatnama? If yes, I didnt sign any such document. And hence I have requested for ceritfied copy of the full petition and the other documents inlcuding the order from the court. I'm also surprised when I ahvent signed any such docuemnt, then how come the judge take my lawyers' words on by behalf and pass the unjustified order?

i agree with the above said view, file a complaint against the lawyer, i am sure there is some misunderstanding that if the 1 year period of separation was not there, then your petition could have not been accepted at any cost. but even if we consider it also, you can march back in that court along with the certified copy of the petition and the order, when the matters are done, you can request the judge to hear you out and show her that u have been wronged. she just might restore the petition on your request. (its worth a try)

and if your wife is not willing for divorce then you cant get divorce through mutual agreement in any case. therefore, you will have to fight a contested divorce.

There are many advocates ( like others  in other fields) who r cheat, blackmailers, careless, get sold out, loose papers, non punctual, unprepered etc which causes treamondous loss to hirere. We must all be careful . 

Thanks Aashish. I've applied for the ceritfied copy of the petition + order. I'll update as soon as I get it .

Thanks all. One more question - What are the future steps do you foresee my wife's side could take now? And what should I do in order to minimize the damage to me and my family?

Aashish Sir, What are the future steps do you foresee my wife's side could take now? And what should I do in order to minimize the damage to me and my family? Thanks.
