If you disagree with the divorce

You can only disagree with the divorce if you have a legal reason.  For example, if you live abroad and the court in England or Wales does not have power over your case.

You cannot disagree because you do not want a divorce.

After you have replied saying you disagree, you must also fill in an ‘answer to a divorce application’ form to explain why you disagree. 

Send it back to the address on the form within 21 days of getting your notice of proceedings.

You’ll have to pay £234 and may have to go to court. 

You can apply for help paying court fees.
