Stage 2We will:

Prepare a form to confirm to the Court what, if anything has changed,

since the divorce proceedings were started

The form is sent to the Court and the District Judge decides if you have sufficient

grounds to divorce your husband / wife

- If so, the Court sends us a certificate called a Decree Nisi

The Decree Absolute brings your marriage to an end and leaves you free to re-marry

Stage 3We will:

Prepare your application for Decree Absolute

(6 weeks and a day after Decree Nisi)

We will send this to the Court

Stage 1We will:

Prepare Divorce Petition form to start proceedings confirming the reason for divorce

Send the petition to the Court to start your divorce, together with a statement of arrangements for any children

Your spouse receives a copy of the petition and a form which he/she has to complete and return to the court

You will need to provide:A marriage certificate

(we can help you get a copy if you don’t have one)
