Done!!

[Alfierock]

Absolute done! ecstatic doesn’t come close. 2 years of huge stress and frustration. Every curve ball and spanner in the works came my way but it’s done

...what do I do now?!

Thinking paperwork first, do I need to inform anyone? Hmrc?

Not heard from ex, assuming he will get letter the same day as me?!

Woop! Congratulations

Huge congrats! I can't imagine the freedom you must feel! Hope you are celebrating! Good to post too - gives me and others hope it will one day end. Any tips for those of us still trudging along - it's been 20 months of hell so far and sadly no nearer the holy grail of an absolute. My stamina is wearing v thin. So draining.

Thank you have most definitely been celebrating.
No tips for the emotional strain I’m afraid. I was an uptight stress head for a long time!
The thing for me that kicked it all into 5th gear was when I filed a complaint to bury st Edmunds and my case. Turns out they had filed all our documents by mistake meaning we had a massive wait and the complaint made them finally realise.
Keep pestering them on the phone! Don’t email. The 3 month late replies are infuriating.

Good luck, it will end one day.

Firstly many huge congratulations!

Secondly, lockdown seems to have almost halted our D proceedings. Why is our Decree Abs taking so many months? We had Nisi in April and sent the Consent Order off over 4 months ago. We're with Bury St Edmunds too, wonder if our D has been misfiled too? I've had visions of our dusty casefile under some clerks' bed who's working from home...
