Decree Nisi

[Izahi123]

Hey! about my querry, i want to know how long is it taking these days to process decree nisi i did ring court after two weeks, they said they have received the papers and are in que but its been five weeksi have got no reply from anywhere, mine court is family and county Manchester courts. They did said its taking 4 to weeks though. I have applied it myself and they even mention taht they 100 cases scheduled! It already took me 9 months to come here. Please i need ur serious help!

Is that 6-8 weeks from filing the original petition? Christ. I've just applied for mine and was hoping it would be slightly quicker than that.

Can anyone explain why there has to be a 6-week wait before applying for the decree absolute?

It took me 8 weeks to receive mine (Hertfordshire).

Kirinm...it's 6 weeks and one day because, I understand, if there are any outstanding financial matters then they should be completed before the absolute is issued. Further, some people change their mind, believe it or not, thus there is a bit of breathing space. It's mandatory.

Since we've been separated for 4 years and only spoken about the divorce in that time, he'd better not change his mind!

Bury St Edmunds automated email response says they're dealing with correspondence within 5 working days which doesn't sound correct going by this thread.

Well it doesn't matter if he does, you can still apply for it. Bury St Edmunds will probably deal with the correspondence, but it is still a process and has to have a "mention" in court. 6-8 weeks is very normal.

God that's so long. I know things are slow in the Courts (I'm a solicitor) but didn't realise the divorce centre was even slower.

I was hoping we'd be divorced by Christmas but that looks a bit hopeful.

10-12 weeks is ridiculous. Was the setting up of divorce centres meant to free up County Court judges? So massive fee increases for an even poorer service than before! Now that is standard throughout all Courts (although the High Courts are pretty efficient).

I'm shocked. That sort of timescale wouldn't be tolerated in most courts.

I did rang courts and they said they are taking 4 to 6 weeks in issuing it, mine is in manchester county and family courts and they have 100 divorce cases,

I have applied it on 26th of august and its 5th week now, i have my birthday on 14th of oct, i want it to end up before it, the decree nisi so i celebrate it. Its my 21st birthday 😭

I have applied for nisi in may, i have to resubmit paper again for the third time, i have to see this waiting time for the third time

I resubmitted the application of nisi, the clerk said when i did ring him aftr 2 weeks that they are taking 4 to 6 weeks, does it comes normally when they give me this time scale, and what about absolute ? How long it comes after applying.
