This query is : Resolved
After long struggle of 8 years, finally i got order for my divorce petition, becoz she did not attend court hearing very long time (nearly 8 months, argument or cross or any evidence). "not attended exparte-decree"
What will be my next step? if there any possibility to reappeal again?
In the other petition for my child visitation rights also granted for me (child not shown for 6 years). Its like if i am in india i can go and see him, in case if i am in outstation i can talk through video call to my kid.
In case still my wife not shown, how i can move forward legally.
regards

If she is filing a petition to set aside the exparte divorce orders then you may have to challenge it on merits.
If she is not obeying court order then you can file a contempt of court proceedings against her

Your wife may file appeal against ex-parte divorce decree before H.C or she may file petition for setting aside ex-parte decree so you need to wait for 90 days and then you may proceed for remarriage.
If your wife wilfully disobeying courts order then you may initiate contempt of court proceedings against her.

I fully agree with the opinion and advise of learned experts, she has a right to appeal, if she feels aggrieved.
Did you move in contempt qua disobedience of orders passed by the court ?
What is the advise of the lawyer engaged by you, who is well aware about facts and circumstances of your case(s), an able, competent, intelligent enough ad duty bound to satisfy your queries ?
