My husband’s lawyer kept delaying the case, saying he’d file a counter. I got a lawyer from legal aid, but now they say my husband’s side isn’t filing a response. Does this mean they agree with everything I’ve said? Can we ask the judge about this before I present my evidence? What can I do to use this lack of response in my favor?

In Indian law, a party’s failure to file a response doesn’t automatically mean agreement with your claims. While it can be a strategic advantage, you cannot directly ask the judge about it before presenting your evidence. You should consult your legal aid lawyer to explore how to use the lack of response to your benefit in the proceedings.
