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.
