(Chennai, Tamil Nadu)I am sorry to hear for what you have gone through. You always have an option for consulting another advocate or changing your advocate. In your case a lot of papers are to be reviewed. Suggesting, anything without studying and reviewing your record does not deem fit.
There might be or might not be a necessity for such delay in the filing counter. Contact an advocate who specializes in divorce matters, immediately.

As per the information you have given it is advsiable to you to file a complaint against those police officer who are not filing your FIR and it is also suggested to you to change your advoacte after getting our refund.
A.Dear Sir,
If you are not comfortable just change the advocate and hire another advocate. It is your privilege to change the advocate as follows:
Order 3 of Civil Procedure Code gives aggrieved persons the right to choose one’s pleader. Therefore changing of pleader with the leave of the Court is possible. The new pleader should submit a duly signed Vakalathnama to the court. Hence it is possible to change one’s pleader. In a few cases problem arises with the case history. If the pleader fails to give it to the client, the client can apply for the order sheet by an application to the Court.
In normal Courts, NOC (No objections certificate) to be taken from the previous Advocate. The previous advocate may sign on the left margin of Vakalathnama (Power) saying he has no objection to engage any other Advocate.
In case, previous Advocate not ready to give NOC then the aggrieved party/client can issue a notice by himself to his previous Advocate saying that he is not comfortable with his service as such his legal services are terminated with immediate effect. Such notice to be sent to the previous Advocate by registered post acknowledgment due (RPAD). Then copy of such notice and postal receipt may be produced before the Court by the new Advocate along with new Vakalathnama which will be accepted by the Court by terminating the services of previous Advocate.
