Delay in appeal in high court-mutual divorce

No time limit to for appeal. If both counsels argue the matter that will come to an end. first you have to check whether your matter is posted in court regularly. whether your and your hubbies getting adjournment frequently? if they are getting adjournment(time) in court you can't get relief early. seniority of the cases also taken into consideration in high courts to list your matter.

Rightly advised by Ms. Dhanalakshmi in this regard.  Be in touch with your advocate regularly.

The family court will not reject the mutual divorce petition on the reason of close relation.  At any means, it has to take up the case and grant decree.  I do not know what is the reason, why you went for appeal in High court.  Pl clarify.

My mother and his father are siblings we had same lawyer and this was filed as single petition.they said this can be discussed and settled and I also heard there was some document not submitted properly.so we appealed on highcourt The appeal was made last may and the date was given December but still hear from lawyer case will be done almost ever month from then I tried watching cause list of highcourt everyday but my appeal no doesn't show for hearing does court hear based on cause list or is it something lawyer have to request for date.so wanted some advice what can be done under this scenario

Ask your counsel to mention before concerned judge, then the matter will be taken up in the list.

I agree with Dhanalakshmi.

But what is the documents you have not properly.  Why you went to High Court.

If you had filed a joint petition for mutual consent divorce and if the same was granted by the lower curt, what was the necessity to prefer an appeal, you have to state the full details for getting a proper opinion to your query. If the lower court dismissed your petition on the grounds stated by you, it is really pathetic because the lower court cannot dismiss the joint petition for the reasons stated by you, please clarify.

The information i got from lawyer and family is , he wanted our relatives to get involved and see for talk together.Only on this ground it was rejected.So we moved to high court.I feel there is a negligence from my lawyer end or something is not correct.i am trying to see with my case number when court will ready to hear my appeal .its been total of 8 months the appeal filed in high court.

would it be advisable to handle the case through another lawyer have been waiting from last May for the appeal to be heard in court and see the case status pending.lawyer prefers not to call him often.he mentioned the court date for me as dec 14th but then i see nothing happened that day and he said it will be over by jan ,feb and march.

I am afraid if i ask for other lawyer help would it be a problem ? its a mutual divorce no property division involved .Not sure how to get this and have been struggling two years.I appreciate all your responses.
