U have to give vakalat to an advocate to appear for U in the court.

If you are appearing in person, give vakalatnama to your lawyer, he would appear on your behalf.

Normally family courts are not entertaining vakalat. So, you can take the help of your friends to inform the court that you are sick and absent. Many of the advocates are doing this unofficially in order to help their client.
