My friends partner is in the middle of getting a divorce, and he is at the stage of waiting the 6 weeks for the decree absolute to be completed. It is now the 5th week. But the courts have put a bar on it because of the child they have. This has been sorted but he is still waiting for the courts to approve this. All they say is ring back in a couple of days.... can anyone offer any advice? My friend and her partner are due to get married 25th November, and they are worrying it won't be done in time!

I am recently divorced, if it pertains to the child, it must be very important. I know the courts will put the childs interest first. It may take longer for them to make all the right decisions. Since a child is involved, they will not rush. They are not worried about holding anything up, this time is for the judge to make his decisions. Also, if they don't come up with a decision that both parents can agree on it may go on longer. Both parents will have to be in agreeance, or the courts will apoint a mediator to help them to agree.

We waited a good couple of weeks to get a Decree Absolut through for a very straightfarward divorce, so all I can tell you is that the courts are not especially efficient.
And we were asked to "ring back in a couple of days" quite a few times too.
Tell your friend to be both patient and persistant. He will get his divorce eventually.

Keep ringing! Hassle people! Write letters! Get the solicitor involved, that's what he's being paid for.
What i don't understand is - when my new husband and i went to make arrangements for our wedding, we had to show our Decree Absolutes, so how come this wedding is booked when no Decree Absolute could be shown? Is your friend being totally upfront about all this.
If they have no Decree Absolute they can't get married legally and they'd be very ill-advised to try and get away with it. Bigamy is a crime.

oh dear... you're friend hasn't wasted any time to rush into another marriage already? unless of course his partner was the reason to divorce the husband... If I were her, I would put a halt to second marriage because of the respect to the child and ex man. Let the waves in the sea get calm first.

Using the phone is a complete waste of time you might be talking to a cleaner for all you know and no records are kept of what you are told .
Put your request in writing and have it sent by recorded delivery
and make sure you stress the point that the intended wedding has already been paid for .

A freedom or a appropriate is a state granted permission to do something interior of a undeniable capacity that they later set with lawsuits. it somewhat is a shaggy dog tale. All of politics is a shaggy dog tale. Telling somebody they're allowed to be unfastened isn't real freedom and is even worse being an entire perversion of what a appropriate or freedom somewhat is.

If he hadn't been playing around,probably with the girl he is going to marry,he wouldn't need to be worrying about a divorce.

It is a bad situation, however, they should not have planned a wedding until after the divorce was final.

I personally think they are rushing things. He should get out of one relationship completely before jumping into another one. Does not sound good to me.
