After the first motion hearing, the case gets listed for a second motion hearing after six months. In between the two motions, a counsellor tries to patch up the differences between husband and wife. If the counselling fails, the case gets referred for Second Motion hearing.

While the initial stages can be managed online, the final legal steps require physical presence at the Noida Family Court. Both spouses must physically sign the mutual divorce petition and are required to appear in person for the court hearings.
In exceptional circumstances, such as if one or both spouses are NRIs living abroad or have a compelling reason they cannot attend, you can nominate a family member to appear in court on your behalf with a notarized Special Power of Attorney (SPoA). The court will review such requests on a case-by-case basis.
