Dear Sir,
Get certified copies of:
Petition filed by wife
Order granting maintenance
Case proceedings (order sheet)
Engage a new competent advocate immediately (Family Court specialist).
Depending on the order passed:
If ex-parte order →
File application to set aside ex-parte order with reasons:
Lawyer’s negligence
No intentional absence
If interim maintenance order →
File:
Application for modification / reduction
Detailed objections with evidence
Courts do consider advocate’s fault if properly explained.
