Hi all,

I'm really worried... I had Decree Nisi in 1995/1996 (IV since lost the form).

I now want to remarry. Found out that I need to provide Decree Absolute. I have/had no idea??

Therefore, I'm a bit stuck.

Could I apply for a decree absolute from my local county court?

Thanks in advance 😳

In order to do anything you will need the case number. That's the bare minimum. After that you can only hope that your Court has records that go back that far.

In my local Court - Birmingham - they had so much paper that they started to destroy files after a certain time. So, any proceedings that were dormant were marked for destruction and subsequently destroyed without informing the parties.

If there is no record of your divorce you may have to start again. That's the worst case scenario.

It might not be possible but is there any chance your ex has copies of any documents?
