Don't you have to appear in court when you entrust a lawyer?

I don't have to attend the court session, but the parties involved in personal relationships such as divorce need to attend the court session. A litigation case may be represented by an agent ad litem, and a power of attorney may be issued to him, indicating the authorization authority. The parties to a general case may appear in court without appearing in court. However, for divorce and other cases involving personal relationships that require me to appear in court, the parties need to appear in court in person, and other matters can be entrusted to an agent.

Plaintiff refers to a person who brings a lawsuit to the people's court in his own name in order to safeguard his own civil rights and interests, thus causing a civil lawsuit.
