Re: its very urgent

Power of Attorney is confined to the extent of powers so delegated in Power of Attorney, but so far as the divorce case is concerned, his personal appearance is necessary.

Re: its very urgent

Power of attorney may have a very limited purpose. However, since the divorce cases fall under the category of "civil litigation", one may pursue such a case through his lawyer and may need to appear only at the time of evidence. However, at the time of your evidence, you will be entitled to summon him for cross examination. The affidavit-in-evidence filed by him in support of his pleadings will be valid only after he appears for cross examination.

Hi

With the help of power of attorney your father-in-law can file a case and also he can represent on behalf of your husband. But during the trial your husband has to appear before the concern court where you or he filed a divorce petition.
