i think in ur case, as your husband is in army, this might delay your case as summoning them is a difficult task and they can easily get excused for non appearance due to their postings and nature of work. but you must not lose hope. a lot depends upon your lawyer. he may try n expedite the matter by taking short date of hearings.
