No, you cannot draft another divorce petition with 'additional points'. Your lawyer should've made it very clear to you that you cannot modify a petition later. If he did not, you better be careful. There are cases where people have lost cases because they happened to forget to add crucial points and their lawyer, maybe being busy/incompetent did not include them. 

What I am asking is the Petition having additional points from Notice. The Notice was just through advocate but Petition is formal court document yet to be applied in court. Our respected laywer is still preparing the Petition so wanted to add few points that were not covered in Notice.

Actually the respected lawyer who prepared Notice was very busy so he framed Notice very poorly. Other esteemed lawyers please don't mind but he was kind of arrogant and adamant to listen to client's points. When I told him one or two things he said me to buy law books first, study them then tell me. He also said who is lawyer you or me. I got a feeling that this will not do and I decided to change. So the current lawyer sir is not much experienced in matrimonial matters but he listens and referes book and spared good amount of time for me.

Just dont worry about anything. The notice is merely a prerequiste to the petition and that too an obligatory one. It is not mandatory for you to send one, although the practise is being adopted these days and for good reason too. As such even if there are certain aspects whcih have been elft out in the notice, then can surel;y be made part of the petition. The petition is thre actual document which matters and the notice is not something which has any value more than a corroborative nature.

But make sure that there are no contradictions, because that could spoil your case. Otherwise additions wont harm you and you may add the necessary allegations as per the situation.

Augustine Sir thank you very much. I've seen you always go beyond basic reply to make queriest understand what he has asked for. 

@autohide4u its not question of listening as an act. Overall if the lawyer is not attentive to client's points and doing the job just for sake of it then one can see the outcome. And, what I meant other lawyer being inexperienced is that not as much experienced as the earlier one but he was hardworking and spent a lot of time doing the home work over case. I agree he is not as seasoned particularly in matrimonial matters BUT I as a client or a person who requires his services is satisfied with his approach and dedication. And trust me with his approach towards case I am not bothered whether I win or lose. And yes regarding the suggestion about listning to wife, I have been always doing that only and wife doing the job of speaking, yelling, shouting, threatning, visiting to her parents every now and then, not doing any matrimionial responsibilities nor allowing me to do my parental duties, running to police station at the drop of hat all these 3 years. You can read my post history since 2.5 years. And yes for sure my wife is not the one who can understand that MCD aspect even if god comes on earth to make her understand these are her words not mine.
