If your spouse has not returned their Acknowledgment of Service to the Court within 14 days and you have a reasonable belief that they are still living at the address set out in the petition then a personal service can be executed.

 

If you have a solicitor acting for you, then we can physically serve the documents on your spouse at their address or at an alternative address, such as their work address.

 

Once your spouse has been served, we will file a certificate of service to confirm a successful service, alongside photographic evidence for the benefit of the Court. It is then possible for you to apply for the Decree Nisi, without requiring your spouse to complete their Acknowledgment of Service.
