Anyone who has recently divorced, how long did it take for your application to be processed so that your spouse could respond??

Thank you ladies! I'm on week 2 and was getting worried...

Yes the wait is horrible

Tunnocksmallow · 14/01/2022 16:03

Not long at all, think as above 3/4 weeks. I applied in September, and I was granted my absolute mid-December. So the whole process is quite straightforward.

Mine was pretty quick. Applied Dec 9th, court issued Dec 21st and he received mail on Dec 24th. He then logged on Jan 1st and responded, within half an hour I'd applied for the Nisi.

My daughter is thinking of going down this route she has been apart from the husband for 11yrs ( I know she should have done it earlier) how much does it cost on line and do you get a reduction if you are working full time and in receipt of UC.Thanks

It was £593 to submit application

It's no reduction but you can ask for help to pay for it, or you can ask other party to pay half/all

Well I checked my account and post was sent on 19th Jan... but I haven't got an email until Monday 24th.
ExH still hasn't received anything yet. When do I worry?

OP posts:
Shibby585 · 26/01/2022 17:23

Can take 10 working days for it to arrive. Give it a few more days.

Notmyyearthisyear · 26/01/2022 21:20

The other party get 10 days to acknowledge receipt not to respond. It’s 30 days to respond.

jane7779 · 27/01/2022 20:30

I applied 15 Dec - got temporary number but nothing else yet !

My ex refuses to tell me or my solicitor where he is living so I'm having to send the divorce papers via his sister! Given how he's behaved up until now I'm not expecting it to be smooth sailing.

@jane7779 I applied on 29th Dec so I'd maybe give them a call???

God that's awful - hope you manage to get it sorted!

I applied 29th Dec... so just waiting 😩 it's horrible!
Hmm that seems a very long time. Can you call the assigned court and cheque what wait time is? I applied in first week of April last year, decree nisi given in Mid May…so yes, your wait, it’s a long time in my experience But I did apply under unreasonable behaviour so not sure if they prioritise the “quickie” divorces vs the no blame.

Mine was for adultery.

But nisi is being read 8th March and that's all I care about 😂
