you can amend the petition with the permission of court. A lawyer can represent you by filing his vakalatnama and you filing an application to appoint a lawyer, but all these doesn't exempt you from personal appearance.
a) Yes, a lawyer may be engaged in a divorce case.
b) The wife may be entitled to maintenance even after divorce, unless she has abandoned her claim by accepting any amount towards permanent alimony or on the ground of having sufficient sources of income.
