My wife has filed for divorce, citing various legal sections. I received a summons but didn’t accept it as I don’t want to give her a divorce. I’m living abroad and can’t manage these legal issues myself. I’ve had problems with lawyers, some even seem to be connected to my wife’s side, demanding excessive fees. My wife, influenced by her family, seems to be pushing for this divorce. A new summons has been issued, and I’m worried about the consequences if it goes ex-parte. Is it possible for me to respond to the court directly, without a lawyer? I’m really struggling with this situation, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You are legally obligated to respond to the summons. While appearing in court without a lawyer is possible, it’s strongly advised against due to the complexity of divorce proceedings. You should seek legal advice from a reputable lawyer immediately, as failing to respond could result in an unfavorable decision.
