Hello,
What happens if a person does not show up at the first instance of a divorce hearing?

If his announcement is complete, then the ruling will be issued in his absence.

Likely, the case will be postponed to another session or presented to the supervising judge if it is pending before the court, after which it will be referred to the judge for a decision on its subject.

If a person fails to attend the first divorce hearing, several consequences may occur. The court might issue a default judgment favoring the attending spouse, potentially granting those advantages in property division, custody, or support.
The absent party may lose the opportunity to present their case, resulting in unfavorable rulings based solely on the attending party's information.
They could be charged with contempt of court, facing fines or legal actions. The hearing may be rescheduled, causing delays and additional costs.
In some cases, if the petitioner is absent, the divorce petition might be dismissed, requiring refiling. It's crucial to attend all scheduled court dates or notify the court in advance if unable to appear.
