Am waiting for financial consent order to be sealed. Ex’s solicitor filed the order online.
Today I got an email that ex has applied for final order (decree absolute) but, to my knowledge, the consent order hasn’t been sealed. I checked with my solicitor - they’ve heard nothing.
Do both parties get informed simultaneously that order has been approved or only the solicitor who uploaded the details?
My understanding is that the financial consent order should come before final order, so what do I do if it isn’t back in next couple of weeks, when ex can continue to finalise the divorce without my consent? Does it matter?
Thanks
