Generally, if a lawyer is entrusted to handle divorce, he or she shall appear in court.
In a divorce case, a party may entrust a lawyer to help draft a divorce agreement and negotiate with the other party on property division and child rearing. However, marriage involves identity relations, and the parties cannot entrust lawyers with the full power to deal with it. The divorce proceedings still need to appear in court in person. According to the law of our country, if there is a litigant in a divorce case, he/she should still appear in court except for those who cannot express his/her intention; If it is really impossible to appear in court due to special circumstances, a written opinion must be submitted to the people's court.
