SRIBHASHYAM MURALIDHAR (Advocate) 24 July 2012
As per Family Courts act, the parties who are intending to get decree of divorce by way of mutual consent, shall present petition before the Family Court personally. If they don't know about the legal proceedings, they can file Petition U/Sec.13 of Family Court Act and seek permission of the court, to be represented by a legal practitioner, but they cannot seek it as of right. If the Advocate who filed petition on behalf of your sister is not available she can inform the same to the Court, to appoint any other advocate from legal services authority.
