Application for restitution / divorce : I don't have my wife's address
Dear Mr. Sabari Das
Thanks for the detailed reply at
http://www.lawguru.com/cgi/bbs/mesg.cgi?i=721402228
**That was very helpful. **
I wish to know a little more BEFORE I venture into courts, notices summons etc.. etc...
1. Can an ex party judgment be challenged later by my wife ...
I've already wasted 5 years of my life and 'am really concerned. I don't want to get a judgment and realize that it is worthless / can be challenger very easily
2. what other safeguards are needed from my side ?
3. **__IF__ I give this case to you what would be your charges ?**
/or/
what would advocates normally charge for a divorce case -
normal number of hearings-normal number of years etc.?
4. **Since i am presently outside chennai, can this case be filed with a power of attorney ?***
(one main reason for posting on the question board and NOT
directly approaching you )
Thanks in advance

yes, it can be challenged within three months of the date of decree / or knowledge.
The case can be filed with a power of attorney; hwever, your presence will be necessary at final hearing.
A decree can be obtained within 2 years of filing.
There may be at least 10/15 dates, before the case comes up for final hearing.
If the case was to be in Calcutta, normally my charges would be Rs.20000/- only. It will the same for Chennai - plus travelling to and from Chennai and board & lodge in Chennai. It can also be done through my Junior at chennai, in which case, I will only have to go there once, brief th junior who will thereafter handle the case until final hearing.

Your reply is addressed to one "Mr. Sabari Das", which is not my name, and I do not know whether your further questions are meant for me or Mr. Sabari Das?
