Six weeks and one day after pronouncement of decree nisi, you can apply to the court for decree absolute. It doesn't happen automatically. If you are the petitioner (the one who started the divorce) and you don't apply for the decree absolute, the Respondent (the one who received the papers) can apply for the absolute three months after the date on which you could have applied for it. If no-one applies for it, it simply never happens and you are not divorced. The court fee is only £40 and it is really easy to apply for. It's a one page form that you can get from the court, and it just says Take notice that the Petitioner John Smith applies for the decree nisi pronounced in his favour on 1 September 2006 to be made absolute. Signed John Smith. And you send that form to the court with your cheque for £40, or even take it there with the money. When I applied for mine, I took the application to the court and the decree absolute was granted two days later.

I think it's usually 6 weeks and 1 day from the decree nisi. A quick call to your solicitor should tell you though.

It is indeed 6 weeks and one whole day, then you throw a party. Only 6 weeks to your nisi, you were lucky mine took over 2 years to get to that, what a **** 2 years they were. Best of luck .

You have been over this a thousand times with her. She knows what went on at least from her view point, which will of course be different than yours. Even if you made a movie out of it, she will never admit that she really did anything wrong. So the only thing you would accomplish by bringing this up to her, is hurting yourself more. Is that what you want, to continue to hurt and blame her for your life being a mess. Now that the divorce is almost over, so should the vindictiveness, move on and forget her, and think with the head on your shoulders, not the other one, that one will get you in trouble every time.

i think it is normally about 6 weeks from the nisi, but you could ask your solicitor, or look it up on the net - would be cheaper!

Hi, It all depends on your local courts. Many are working with several weeks delay and even months. Good luck, but your solicitor should be able to help you with local knowledge.

Depends on lots of things that need to be sorted, division of properties,financial settlement, custody for children, if straightforward then not long if there is dispute it can take months. Good luck.
