Decree nisi

Once you decide to file for a divorce, the courts will issue a divorce petition along with sending an acknowledgement of the intent to divorce for the opposing party to read. At this point you become known as the petitioner; the other party involved becomes the respondent.

The respondent must complete and return the issued petition, this is so they can show they acknowledge the divorce, this then allows the proceedings to move forward.

A copy of the respondent’s acknowledgement is sent to the petitioner or their solicitor.  At this point the paperwork can be prepared as required to move your divorce to the next stage, it is at this point that a decree nisi may be issued.

Prentice Family Law’s team of divorce solicitors in Weybridge wants you to understand that a decree nisi is a provisional decree of divorce. At this point you are still married, waiting for your divorce to be finalised.

Decree absolute

The petitioner can apply to the court after six weeks and one day after the decree nisi is issued to finalise their divorce. At this point, they are issued with a decree absolute.

Once you have obtained a decree absolute you are legally divorced, making you free to marry again if you so wish.

Keep in mind

Here we have only outlined the basic divorce procedure. Any financial or childcare arguments arising from a divorce are treated separately, we would urge you to seek additional expert legal advice around any matters coming out of your divorce.
