• Ex-parte divorce decree

My son in law filed divorce suit from my daughter at Hyderabad in November 2015. As my daughter too wanted divorce and they were living separately for more than a year and further she didn't want any maintenance/alimony from him, we decided not to contest the petition. We received 3 court notices for appearance at an interval of about 3 months each and we ignored all of them. Finally the Hyderabad family court pronounced ex-party divorce in September 2016 and court orders were signed to that effect on 24th Sept 2016. The copies of this orders have been kept by the lawyer of my erstwhile son in law and not given to us. Kindly inform how we can get a copy of court order from the Family court, Civil Court Hyderabad? can any lawyer from Hyderabad represent us to get the order copy on payment of professional and court fees?

Hello,

1) Yes it is possible for any lawyer or any agent of yours duly authorised by you to obtain a certified copy of the ex parte order.

2) As a matter of fact his lawyer is not liable to provide you with a copy as you never appeared before the court and the order was ex parte.

3) All you need to do is contact a local lawyer and he should be able to assist you with obtaining a certified copy of the judgement and decree of divorce.

You should approach the family court in Hyderabad to provide you a copy of the divorce decree granted free of cost, as per provision of Act.

2. In case you are not present in India then your daughter can send a Power of Attorney to some relations / friends in Hyderabad to give Vakalatnama to a local lawyer to do needful in the matter.

Dear Concerned,

Yes - you can hire a lawyer who can represent you and take certified copy of the order passed by the court.

You would need to give a email authorizing the lawyer to take a certified copy of the order and should take maximum of 2-3 days of court work.

Why would the lawyer of your erstwhile son-in-law give you certified copies of the order of the court? He is the counsel of your son-in-law not your daughter. To pull put the certified copy you should take the assistance of a local lawyer. Some lawyers from Hyderabad are on this portal whom you may contact.

Since your daughter is a party to the case, she can file an application requesting certified copies of the exparte divorce decree passed by the court by furnishing the particulars of the case including the date of disposal on the copy application.

If she wold like to engage the services of an advocate for this purpose, she may have to give an affidavit in this regard for appointing an advocate and also should give him a vakalat for executing this task.

You can choose among the lawyers of this forum too or can engage a lawyer from your home town too who would be able to get the task completed through any of his colleagues located in Hyderabad.
