If your husband or wife has started divorce proceedings against you, the divorce centre will send you a copy of their divorce application (sometimes called a divorce ‘petition’).
You’ll also get the following documents online or by post:
Responding online
Respond online if your notice of proceedings has an access code. You’ll need to create an account. You must respond within 14 days of getting the notice of proceedings. You cannot respond online if you have a solicitor representing you. Respond online
Responding by post
You must respond by post if: your notice of proceedings does not have an access code you are represented by a solicitor You need to post back the acknowledgment of service form. You must respond within: 7 days of getting the notice of proceedings, if the court issued your divorce application before 6 April 2022 14 days of getting the notice of proceedings, if the court issued your divorce application on or after 6 April 2022
If you do not respond in time
Your husband or wife might still be able to continue with the divorce if the court decides that you received the application. The court might deliver the papers personally to you so that there’s proof you’ve received them. You might have to pay the cost of this. Contact the divorce centre or get legal advice if you’re not sure.
The divorce will go ahead. Your husband or wife will apply for a legal document (a ‘conditional order’ or a ‘decree nisi) to end the marriage. Then they must apply for a ‘final order’ or ‘decree absolute’ to finalise the divorce.
After you respond, you must also fill in a form explaining why you disagree with the divorce.
If the court issued your divorce application:
•before 6 April 2022, fill in an answer to a divorce petition
•on or after 6 April 2022, fill in an answer to a divorce application
You may have to pay a £245 fee, but you might be able to get help paying it.
If your husband or wife applied for a divorce on or after 6 April 2022 you can only dispute the divorce if you have a legal reason. For example, if you live abroad the courts in England and Wales might not be able to deal with your application.
You need permission from the court to start your own divorce after receiving a divorce application, unless the application was issued before 6 April 2022.
If the court issued the divorce application before 6 April 2022, you can start your own divorce. Fill in a divorce application form.
You will have to pay a £593 fee.
You and your husband or wife will usually have to attend a court hearing to try to come to an agreement over the divorce.
If your husband or wife started the divorce, but they have not applied for the legal document that ends the marriage (the ‘final order or ‘decree absolute’), you can apply.
You can only do this if it’s been at least 3 months, 6 weeks and 1 day from when the conditional order or decree nisi was granted.
To apply, fill in an application notice form.
You’ll have to pay a £167 fee and go to a court hearing with your husband or wife.
