Lawyer's notice

1). If a lawyer's notice issued on behalf of a spouse in not replied, what may be the consequences?

2). Whether the allegations narrated in notice stands established in this case? What the law says? 

3). Can the lawyer suo moto take any action for not replying or the spouse only have the right to move further?

Non reply of legal notice does not amount admission of contents of notice,it may be supporting evidence.

No, it is a party who can initiate action and not lawyer.

If your spouse's lawyer sends you a legal notice and you choose not to reply, the sender may take further legal action, such as filing a lawsuit. 

Ignoring a legal notice can have serious consequences, including a court judgment against you, financial losses, and even criminal prosecution in certain cases.

Additionally, it might be viewed as a lack of willingness to resolve the issue amicably, which could negatively impact your defense if the case goes to court. 

Hence ignoring a legal notice is not a legally advisable strategy.

1 & 2 .if lawyer notice is. not replied it means that you have admitted it's allegations. 

3. Only spouse has right to move further.

Norn-reply of the notice will be an added benefit to the author, if the author institutes a suit/complaint /petition against spouse.

What is your concern / locus standi to the notice ?

Prima facie it is an examination hall question paper.
