Divorce paper

juncert

How long after divorce did you receive final papers from court? Divorced 5 weeks ago and still nothing.tia

Another day

Chase it up by ringing the court you attended. There can be a back log so if you need it for something ring them

The court services are literally snowed under with work. I was waiting over 3 months for my papers.
But rest assured you are divorced.

Can a ex spouse hold up divorce proceedings by claiming they are stressed/ anxious or after the 4 years are you allowed get a divorce?

Payton

I'm not too sure about being anxious/stressed.
Once you meet the criteria for the 4 years you are entitled to a divorce.

Unfortunately they can hold up the proceesings in any number of ways and yes, claiming stress/anxiety is one of them.

You're entitled to apply, would be the more correct way to term it. I got divorced last year and there were cases in the call-over that had been dragging on for over ten years because one party wouldn't engage with proceedings. Irish courts are EXTREMELY loathe to grant divorces when both parties aren't actively clamouring for it.

That is quite worrying, it's insane because 4 years is more than enough time to wait, legal advice to me has been there might be one excuse allowed but the second time she doesn't show up they will grant divorce, there are no kids, property or assets
