Dear sir,

There is no difference if you get divorce decree either from family court or district court . Please go ahead as suggested by your advocate since it was rightly or wrongly registered under special marriage act. 

- As per section 27 of the Special Marriage Act , 

27. Divorce.—1[(1) ] Subject to the provisions of this Act and to the rules made thereunder, a petition for divorce may be presented to the district court either by the husband or the wife .

- So, your lawyer has rightly filed the said case before the District court as per the provision of Special marriage Act.

- Dont worry and produce the evidence in support of your case for getting relief . 

You can very well file the divorce case before the family court also for the marriage registered under special marriage act.

This can be filed in the district court only when there is no family court or it is not coming under its geographical jurisdiction

If you have already filed a petition before the district court, then how can you file a similar petition before any other court, you may have to withdraw the earlier petition to file a fresh petition
