I’ve filed for divorce and my first hearing is today. However, neither of us could be present in court, and we were told the case has been adjourned because my wife has a child. What are the implications of this situation, and what steps should I take next?

The adjournment due to your wife having a child implies the court prioritizes the child’s well-being and may want to assess the situation further. You should contact your lawyer to understand the specific reason for adjournment, the new hearing date, and any actions you need to take before the next hearing, such as providing documentation.
