The first stage of the divorce process is the drafting and submitting of the divorce petition itself. In this document, the Petitioner will explain to the Judge why they believe the marriage has “irretrievably broken down”. This means that at least one of the parties has come to the decision that the marriage is at an end and they are not prepared to try and fix things. In order to satisfy the ground of “irretrievable breakdown”, the Petitioner will have to prove one of 5 possible facts: Adultery Unreasonable behaviour Desertion of 2 years or more Separation of 2 years with Consent Separation of 5 years without the need for Consent. At Stage 2, the Court issues the Petition and sends a copy out to all parties. The Respondent will also receive a response pack, in which there will be a form known as “the Acknowledgement of Service” form which is to be completed, signed and sent back to the Court. If the Respondent confirms that they do not intend to defend the divorce, then the Petitioner can proceed to the next stage. At Stage 3, the divorce petition will be passed to a Legal Advisor or District Judge to consider to decide if the fact relied upon in the Petition has been proved by the Petitioner. If the Court is satisfied that the fact has been proven, then the Petitioner is entitled to a divorce. The Court will then give notice of the date, time and place of the pronouncement of the Decree Nisi (also known as the “Interim Order”). The Interim stage is important as it sets out the earliest date that the Petitioner can apply for the Interim Order to be made Final, which is 6 weeks and 1 day later. Once the minimum cooling-off period has passed, the Petitioner can apply for the interim order to be finalised. Usually, within a week of filing such an application, you will receive the Final Order from the Court, known as your Decree Absolute.
