Both parties must personally appear at trial, but if one of them resides abroad, he or she may be represented by a lawyer. The lawyer can handle all the procedures and presentations, without the need for your presence during the trial.
However, if you do not want a lawyer to represent you, but you do not want to appear at the court deadlines, then you should know that your divorce request will be rejected as unsupported. If the other spouse does not appear either, the divorce process will be suspended.
