what happens after the consent hearing

hi guys

am just wondering what happens after the consent hearing.. ours is being stamped (I think)... well judge was happy with what my stbx and I wished to do .. so what happens now...

will I receive a formal document from the courts detailing the consent order or is the copy I've already got enough.. will the court send me something details our clean break (excluding the variation for child maintenance)...

do we have to wait for this before the absolute can get done.. and how long does it take to become absolute once the absolute is signed.

oh.. and what will the absolute say exactly..

I'd really appreciate some advice as I'm feeling rather financially strapped and quite emotional that this is now nearing the end of my marriage.. I can't seem to jump out of having an inner feeling of melancholy

If the judge was happy they usually stamp it there an then, i asked the judge to stamp my own he did.

If it was not done at the hearing it will be and then sent to your sol if you have one or to you if not.

All you get is the order the judge had at the hearing with a big round stamp on the front, the judge may also sign and date it.

Its best to wait until the order is stamped before applying for the absolute but for most it makes no difference unless pensions are involved.

The absolute is an A4 bit of paper often photocopied all it says is the marriage is dissolved and your both free to marry again.

Once the application is made for the absolute (Form D36) and the fee is payed its usually pretty quick, a week maybe two, if you call the court and ask nicely they will tell you if the consent order is stamped and when the absolute will be granted.

Its all over now
