Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will assist you in this matter.

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.

You can contact us via WhatsApp for further clarification or additional support. We are dedicated to providing professional, timely, and comprehensive assistance tailored to your situation.

Thank you!
