DIY divorce on gov website- how long to get initial papers ?

[CadburyFlake]

I am doing this process. Wondering what anyone's experience is of how long it takes from hit submit to the recipients receiving the paperwork from the court ?
Thanks

Bump

I don't know the answer to this but I'm following this thread as I'm in a similar position!

Hi atr
I hope someone has the answer. Have you submitted ?

Not yet but I will be later this week!

About 2 weeks for me - this was 3 years ago so mind.

Meant to say look on the www.wikidivorce.com site, they can tell you more accurately because it depends what area you come under.

Thanks bedsprings Id forgotten about that site - I appreciate the reminder.

Good luck with the submission atr. It was long overdue in my case and still feels a bit weird to have finally pressed the go button.

Keep chatting here if you fancy the support

I submitted mine 3/10/19 and he received it on 18/10/19 so just over 2 weeks. You can ring them and ask and they will tell you what dates they are currently processing.

Thanks @CadburyFlake.

Mine is long overdue too. I've spent a long time getting custody and finances sorted out. So, it feels a bit wierd to actually get the petition in motion too.

Hi, I put mine in yesterday so watching with interest.

yes about two weeks

I posted my forms on 20th November and they were processed and sent back out on 19th December, received on the 21st.
This is Newport family court and when I spoke to them this week to chase up the acknowledgment, they're currently running about 3 weeks behind.

I applied 31st December. Letter arrived 7th January. HTH

I’ve just checked, I submitted end of June, I had his response at the beginning of August, nisi granted 1st November.

Couple of weeks I've now got my nisi

Sorry posted to soon I applied late october he recieved november then he had to reply the court date was set in January where the judge granted the nisi I can apply for the absolute in February

Our letter has been turned around in less than a week... very fast.!
I guess it depends on area in which you live though.

Slippery.
Did you do a financial clean break order ?

Financial ckean break orders protect you from a future claim from your ex husband (eg if you had a large financial windfall). Without the order your financial ties are not truly severed.

We aren't planning on bothering with finances, does that make it quicker? (For unusual reasons it's in my interest not to finalise until further along but I do want my marriage dissolved because it feels weird to be living with someone else whilst married)

How's everyone getting on?
I was granted date for my decree nisi hearing early this week.
It's not for a month or so though.

If you apply online how do you send your marriage certificate?

Upload an image. They have guidelines on the image quality. I scanned it...

My ex has not signed the paperwork so that's delayed things here 😡

Oh that's annoying CeCe

Is he just not getting around to it or contesting the divorce ?
