It's not illegal to travel. But if your presence is required in court on the said date you should be present. If court exempts your presence on the said date then it's fine

Dear client, 

No, it is not illegal to do so. Your lawyer can represent you. If you are required to be present in court, you can be present through video conferencing. 

Thank you.

- You can legally travel overseas even there is divorce case is pending before the court 

- Further, your lawyer can pursue the case in your absence , however if evidence not closed then your presence is needed before the court for passing final judgment .

1. No. This is not a criminal case and there is no restriction in your intra-country as well as inter country travels.

 

2. If the examination in chief and cross examination  is over then the case can be handled by  your Advocate and you won't have to be present to receive the Judgement.

 

3. Your Advocate can collect the certified copy of the said Judgement.

It's not illegal at all. You can free to go anywhere you like. 

Your POA'S presence would suffice. Also, you can attend court hearing online.
